Awesome pictures you guys, looks like a fun trip! I wonder what that cinder-block building out in the middle of nowhere was for? How was camping - were you able to have a fire, stay dry? 

 

not a drop of rain Saturday at camp till after we all had all gone to bed, then just light sprinkles overnight. we had a roaring fire, even though it was still above 40* when we said goodnight. great folks & conversation along with some espresso moonshine thanks to @Ladybug (and my thievery at the holiday party)!

 

it didn't start pouring till we had a good start on the trail Sunday morning, and then all the low clouds/fog and rain made for great scenery and an exciting trail ride! there were lots of breaks in the weather, we even had a Sunny lunch stop, then afterwards we had crazy heavy rain, sleet, hail, and bit of snow. there was snow still on the ground in Oracle when i passed through on my way home!

 

all in all, a really awesome little trip!

For those of you on the trip, you probably have been wondering about the condition of the special overlanding piece of equipment I was able to obtain in mammoth. She is all repaired and ready to roll.

I can sleep better now that I know it's repaired. 🤣
