Used 6-point levelers to change a flat
I tried a few times years ago to jack up one side of the fiver with the Lippert 6-point leveler jacks, but they just wouldn't raise one side off the ground on a level-ish surface. The last time I had ...

Looks like a great spot to ride.
It's funny how you get familiar with your "usual" spots. I don't think I've ever ridden much in the trees except for the desert joshua trees. I'm used to having lots of obstacles on the ground, but I'd be nervous with so many trees at handlebar height.
I finally gave up the bike a few years ago. We still have the bikes so our kids have something to ride when they visit, but I got tired of wiping out. My doctor told me after my last bad crash that in addition to the broken ribs I had injuries he'd never seen before. "I've never seen this before, but you actually sprained a bunch of vital organs. I've never seen a sprained kidney, liver, or spleen before, but you managed to do it." (The liver may have been preexisting damage.)
My wife was a demon on her bike and she still misses it, but I love riding together in the SxS and being able to talk to her and the rest of the group on the radios. We were the last ones in our group to transition to SxS and I had no idea how much radio chatter we were missing out on. It quickly changed from a pretty solitary activity to a very social one.
If you ever get another offer to head to the desert, don't turn it down. There's a lot to see and do in the deserts. It's a totally different season too. You could be riding right now if you wanted to. :B
