Patrick, I think we should probably try to meet at 7:00 AM; it seems 4 hours is a more realistic travel time. Can you swing it?
That's correct. Hi89, Loope turnoff. This is about 8 or so miles from Markleeville. And from Dublin it is about 4 hrs. I will be leaving tomorrow (Fri) morning about 7 am.

Hey Olebiker,
Thanks for the post...

I'll be leaving the Mountain View area between 3pm & 4pm...It'll take me a several hours just to get to the trail head...Then an hour or 2 just to run the trail to the campsite.

Hopefully, make it to the campsite before dark...But, I'm going to give it a shot.

Sorry...My lady friend is working both Saturday & Sunday, but at least I asked.

I'll see you tomorrow night,

Hi Andy,
Be carefull coming in and you'll be fine. I've done this trail in the dark and it's not too awfully bad.
I would make sure you have this map. When you head up the trail, take the SECOND 190B to the left which will merge with 310 which takes you the rest of the way in.
It's a good three hours in so I'll see ya close to midnight I would reckon.
Wake me gently! [Sleep]

Sounds good, see you there.... Man, "before 7am" usually only exists in terms of REM for me.
Also, I'll email you my cell phone #.

Hey guys. I had a great time. Good company, great scenery and fun in the truck. Thanks Gary, Andy, Mark, Jim. I'm looking forward to seeing some pics (Jim)... I only ended up with a couple.

Yes, it was great meeting & wheeling with everyone. How did you & Andy fare on Highway 4 after I took off?
Hopefully another outing can be arranged in not too distant future (I really want to try slickrock before winter sets in....).

well.... Andy I made it.... the max speed going up any kind of incline at altitude was 9 mph !!! ... so it took a while. I didn't get home till late.. and ended up with a lot of saddle time that day (11 1/2 hours?) ... from when we left camp until home. But its all good. [Wave]

... I would love to do it again soon, but as I undestand, slick rock is beyond my stocker's abilities at this point. However... there are lots of other trails right around there (Andy pointed many spots out to me as we made our way down)

...Thanx PatrickMB...

I apologize to all for my X acting up...That darn modified air intake system & the X computer sure didn't mesh well together at altitude...

I placed the stock airbox back in & my X runs great again...But, just to be on the safe side, I've decided to take it into the shop to get a tune-up as well as have my X undergo a full diagnostics check...I'll know, after the check, if anything is broken, missing, bad, popped, &/or loose...If all goes well, I'll have my X ready to go for the next trip...Which by the way, is this weekend...

Thanx again PatrickMB for your support to safety...I was happy to be your guide thru the Corral Hollow & Sourgrass areas...

Thanx to everyone else for a really fun trip...
