Me too. This trip is one I would love to do at some point. Timing wasn't really on my side this time around as we are staying close to home waiting for labor to start at some point...

He's due tomorrow, but no signs yet.

Hopefully there'll be some good stories & lots of pics coming in a day or 2 from the guys that did make it.

Totally bummed Buck and I missed out on this trip. This was the first time I've ever actually broke down on the road. I bought a new flatbed a couple months ago and for some reason while passing through Victorville the leaf springs totally collapsed. To make a bad situation worse, the tires got shredded from hitting the fender wells. We were able to limp everything home unassisted so it could have been worse. I'm heading back up there this summer for sure. Glad you guys had a good trip!

Plenty of firewood from fallen trees and branches. Jose was the hatchet master.

This looks like such a great trip, Brian. I'd love to have a more in-depth download of the trails, campsites, etc. This general area is on my short to-do list.
