    Thanks Jim for putting this all together.
    I had a great time.
    Great group of people, even Alan.JK.

    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

    Big thanks to Jim for planning this trip and making it such a success. It was great seeing old faces and meeting some new ones. Now on to the pictures!

    Our second camp was at around 10,100 (ish) feet.





    On Sunday morning after we all packed up, four of us broke off and did some exploring to see if we could find another way down. We ended up catching up with the main group but the detour was well worth it.













    I'll try to get through some more edits but in the mean time I am sure more people will post up.
