Day 23, Rides 5-17

Well, there's only 7 days of the month left. It's actually been relatively uneventful riding the last few weeks. Just your typical sheeple encounters, including a couple who very much did not appreciate me calling on your left before I passed. Saw a few more snakes, some crazy birds, a hummingbird, lots of ducks, including an oddly colored duck, and geese, one who didn't seem to like my presense at the Winchester trailhead. I've also had several delayed starts due to rain and managed to get out and back twice in-between storms. The DNR has still been out there, as well as a car marked Draper Canyon Police. ?? I also encountered an undercover car on the trail my Midvale, my home trail. But the normalcy changed today. Hubby was dropping me at the 12600 S trailhead. Two Draper Police vehicles were pulling in just ahead of us. After we got parked, we observed the two officers talking to a man, near the children's playground area, whose only clothing was a shirt wrapped around his waist and, um, man stuff. Um, what the hell? Two more Draper police cars arrived and three of the officers were walking around the area with evidence bags, collecting stuff. One of the garbage cans was full of clothing. ?? One of the officers met up with an undercover officer and they walked a bit down the trail. They managed to find the man shorts, in the other trash can, which they had him immediately put on. Then pants, socks and shoes and finally the shirt. A firetruck and ambulance came during this, briefly assessed the man and left after 10 minutes. Then he was arrested and put in one of the police cars. And people wonder why I always carry a stun gun! The only other insanity today was nearly taking out an unattended kids at the Shields Lane trailhead then watching her nearly take out three other people before brain dead dad told her to look both ways and then went to get his other two kids off the boat ramp and away from the water. 🤦‍♀️I was disappointed at Gardner Village twice when I saw the crane there getting ready to put the new bridge in place and I had to leave so I didn't get to see. So, with 7 days left, 5 of which I will ride, I look forward to seeing what other craziness riding the trail will bring into my life!
