    When the last of us made it to the pavement, I had never before felt sad that it was time to air up the tires. On this journey old friendships had been renewed and new friends have become part of the band of adventurers that came together to explore the mighty Inyos.

    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!"

    Good times!
    Will begin working on the photos asap.
    Thank you to Jim for the planning for this momentous trip. Great to see friends from past trips and make new ones. Looking forward to future adventures.

    Jim!
    Perfect simple summary leaving just enough to provide those not privy to engage themselves in wild speculation.
    Wonderful. I miss it already.

    What a wonderful Adventure. We had a great time and want to thank Jim and the rest of the Conspirators for a memorable weekend. More images to come.

    Another memorable surprise was that Chris' son Alistair proved himself to be quite an expert with Topo maps on an iPad and he became our navigation lead through the bewildering maze of USFS trails
