This morning we took FM170 north this time to the town of Ruidosa, it&#8217;s about 42 miles from home, it&#8217;s not really a town and it&#8217;s not in the GPS. From there we hung a right on Pinto Canyon Road, it&#8217;s a gravel road with a sign that says steep grades &amp; narrow roads next 54 miles. WOW what a road, we met 1 truck, found 1 pry bar for digging out rocks, I moved it out of the road, met 1 side by side, I&#8217;m pretty sure he was working, passed 1 road grader working on the road, 1 truck with him and a couple of bicyclist once we reached pavement as we neared Marfa. The gravel portion was only about 20-25 miles then it turned into Texas Ranch Road 2810.<\/p>\n<p>About 10 miles of the gravel county road took us through the 62,000 acre Pinto Canyon Ranch, it has some spatular scenery. Words and pictures just can&#8217;t do justice to the area. They can&#8217;t even come close. The downside was no trespassing beyond the road while in the ranch so there are no hiking trails.<\/p>\n<p>What a drive, we hope to do the same route only in reverse next time,\u00a0total trip from Presidio to Ruidosa to Marfa and back to Presidio was about 150 miles.<\/p>\n<p>The End<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\"
