Too bad you took so few pictures! Kidding of course. Nice shots! Nightmare is a great trail.

I sure am sorry I missed this one. Looks like a great time! It is on my list for next season.

Nice photos!

Better late than never...

Been uber busy. Here are some pics from my perspective.

Nighmare changed big time since the last time I was there. No water crossing at all this time. More canyon wall colapses, hardly any trash (thanks everyone for that). Great trip with great people as usual.

Really enjoyed riding with everyone, it was a fun day on the rocks with adrenaline junkies. I got to see a lot of new stuff too. Thanks for all the pictures, it is nice to relive it and wish I was back out there. Mike, thanks for finding the junkyard!

My video of a small part of the action.

Looks like a great day guys, you went to some places we didn't, envious. But now, I have places to find and explore... never knew about those mines before, schmidt yes, the other no.

Anyone take any gps tracks?

I'll have some soon. Still cleaning them up.

[Mitch]

Looks like an awesome trip! Thats a section out there that I never had a chance to run. There are so many things to see and to explore in that area.Thanks for sharing.

[Mike]

I finally found the time to get a video together! I had problems with the audio track so I added music to the whole thing. You can watch it here:

I also have the GPS track for Nightmare if anyone is interested. I have our whole day's adventure in a GPX file as well. PM me with your email address if you would like for me to send either of them to you.

Mike, thanks so much for the .gpx. We finally made it out there. Had to go through Black Rock to get there as Nightmare is closed. That short cut freakin rocked the house. OMG!

Thanks again.

Awesome! I'm glad that you were able to use the tracks. I liked the short cut too.
How is Black Rock? I haven't driven it yet. Any pics?

Not sure how we missed each other Nathan. It would have been great to hook up.
