Jonathan and I had a great time today. The weather was perfect, the colorful leaves were a nice surprise and we got a chance to wheel with a bunch of you guys we've never wheeled with before. Thanks for a nice day:cool)

It started at the Baja Gas Station at 9am. ;) Sorry, that was more of a slam to the other no shows that were on the list w/o starter issues.

Beeline to Bartlet

Great pics James, thanks for the vids too. Showed up great considering it was just about dark at that point :cool)

There was some crazy cool flex going on out there!

That was the prettiest I'd seen it out there, with the fall colors, blue skies, and the gushing springs (water tasted good too). Thanks for the teamwork displayed out there with spotting and finding the river crossing. The crossing used put us right with the old topo's too.

It was great seeing families out there too. So many kids on the trail making great use of down time and fishing, etc.

Thanks again to all.
There were a lot of cameras out there. Where more pics? :)
