"You said, started with 16 trucks. How many did you end with? "

Everyone made it through, if that's what you mean. 15 Xterra's and 1 2WD Toyota pickup. The Toyota needed a bit of help at times. The group spilt into 2 towards the top, with about half of us taking a more challenging "short-cut". No one was left behind.

Here are a few more photos, starting in the dusty desert.

Testing the depth of an old vertical mineshaft.



Higher elevation, but not yet to the pines.
