| no partners | | A 4WD where we made some virgin tracks through a wash area that had not been driven since the last large rainfalls. Visited two mining camps and hiked up the scenic Trail canyon. Some of the hiking was tough since we had to climb very steeply to get around 50 foot dry waterfalls. We decided to turn back at 3:30 PM with some risk of dark but we made it to the car with 10 minutes to spare.
Coming back we had to come down about 200 feet on a 45 percent grade and I got a chance to glissade (a fancy word for butt sliding) in about 8 inches of snow. The snow held me back nicely and I got down in less than a minute. That was good fun for this guy who spent his childhood in northeastern PA where we did that sort of thing a lot. A fun adventure all the way.
Did the long drive back in the dark to the sound of good music on Serius/XM satellite radio. |
