I'm almost home from my first LCDC and wanted to write down a few things before I forget—and mainly to forget how crummy this hotel room is in Twin Falls.
Gratitude
First and foremost, thank you to @codyaustin5, @indycole and the cast behind the scenes, and Dissent, Slee, @Eric Sarjeant and the rest of the sponsors for creating such an amazing gift to this community.
I started posting back in 2017 and never imagined that I would also got to put humans to screen names. Shout-out @radman @BIC JET @Trukk @HSTexan @PhuckItImDone @laserturbo91 @CharlieS, @linuxgod, @ATwoZ @ethernectar and more who I can't think of right now. I left the event with some new friends.
Trail impressions
Over the week I ran Boreas Pass, Mosquito Pass (blue), Birdseye Gulch (blue-plus), Red Cone (red), Peru Creek (green), Chihuahua Gulch (blue). Red Cone is pretty hard to top (quite literally). Obviously everyone talks about the ascent and descent — but I really loved the sub-alpine section. The obstacles start within the first five minutes and the don't quit. My favorite part was the first big rock obstacle. @linuxgod bravely fought his way through first and burped a tire going through:
I got through no problem but credit it to the fact that Geoff, Hants, and @Trukk worked out the kinks first:
Chihuahua Gulch was a close second in terms of my favorite. It was challenging and short, but didn't let up. I didn't take many photos because we tried to beat the rain.
