WOW,

The RimRock views were totally awsome and the wheelin was great as well. It was a very long trip there and back but worth it. Put on 461 miles on RubyDoo this past weekend.

Day three was the Naches Trail and Skipper's turn to be skipper. Josie and I had business at Whistlin Jacks that morning so we left ahead of the flight planning to meet back up with them at the entrance to the Rabbit Holes.

Enroute, we saw a rag-horn bull and a cow elk in Lost Meadow, and then had to stop for a herd of about eight cows and calfs in the road. Unfortunately, they were gone before the participants got there.

Friday was the KnuckleHead's day to take a flight to Shoestring/Kaner and I was pulling duty as trail leader. Skies were gray and a bit coolish. Again, we got out of the staging area right on time and headed up Highway 410 to Milk Creek where we aired-down before starting up the hill.

The KnuckleHeads had taken care to select an appropriately difficult, but scenic series of trails in the Rimrock area, including two trips to the area to insure we had a safe way down from the ridge. So we felt pretty confident starting out with a dozen strange rigs and possibly stranger drivers, leaving the staging area at Jim Sprick Park at 6:30.

Cara and I arrived Wednesday evening around 5:15 PM with Michelle following in her jeep. We set up camp, registered, got the jeep teched, and sign up for Manastash Ridge being hosted by Roberts Motors. Gage and Clay also signed up for Manastash Ridge too.
