Since Nick and Barb (USMC 0369) are going to be moving away in June, we wanted to run some trails that they haven't been on before they leave. Unfortunately, Barb was out of town this weekend, but we treated Nick with the utmost respect:
It was a gorgeous day in the mountains:
Here's Materdaddy showing Dirtman13 the proper technique:
Sarah suddenly surprised as their Jeep drops off of the same obstacle:
Nice flex Eric!:
The valley down below was all foggy and hazy most of the day. It was nice to be up in the sunshine:
We stopped and waited for this guy to cross the road. The right of way always goes to the natives:
For lunch, most everyone headed to a malt shop where we were to meet up with FishPOET. Rat Patrol, Dirtman13 and I decided to take the scenic route up 2N17X to get there. The gatekeeper at the head of the trail can be tricky:
Did I mention that it was a gorgeous day?:
Creek beside 2N33:
The main goal of the day was to run Dishpan Springs (3N34). The first climb has some nice rocks on one side:
Chris led the way up the falls:
Rubi supervised from the side lines:
Near the end of the trail, Chuck's Jeep got tired and decided to take a nap:
After we woke it back up again, we headed to pavement on Edison Road. That trail is not a blue square trail anymore even though the sign still says so. It is easy now that the tractors have come through to cut the burned trees out. Too bad.
