What?!? We wouldn't talk about you if you weren't here, you know us better than that. :D
 
I was packed and ready to roll Thursday night but ended up getting the flu on Friday. It was miserable. Glad you guys had fun.

We were wondering what happened. Todd didn't make it for the same reason and I am fighting it off now.

That is a bummer, hope all are feeling better. I am feeling under the weather as well. Guess it is that time of year...

Under the weather put it mildly. I was in the bed all day friday and saturday.

Sad part is that there are so many awesome trails out there, but they are gated. There is a great way to the eternal flame back up the mountain. Its a really good trail, but its gated down below and the turn off of the upper trail is very hard to find.

So I assume you snuck thru with your bike ;)
 
a few more pictures

Hi all,
Got knocked down with some bug and have not been able to get to pictures.
Not in any random order, but this one has to represent the vastness of the area and is one of the best of the bunch.

day two continued
The area is just cris-crossed with trails...

We pushed as far as we could go, must have been around 530pm. All agreed that we needed to make camp immediately (2 areas separated by a huge mud hole in the trail), and we raced to clear the flat area that we are parked in below. This flat area was the only one we saw over the 2-3 hr slog on the water trail.

Turned out just about perfect, on a bluff, with a bit extra work, we could make it really nice next time.

I'm not sure why something silly like the flu stopped you from riding. I had pneumonia and still lead the ride.the bronchitis did slow me down at the end, but it was worth it!

But still have not unloaded it from the trailer!

That's just being prepared for the next ride. If it ain't broke don't monkey with it.

Well guys I am ready to go back there, I had a blast wth everyone.
And so did junior. My intent was to get him exposed to his wilderness adventurous man side that every 14 yr old has in him. Something changed in me as well as I realized something was not right with the marriage I adored....
More on that later
