Maybe squared. I mention it to Colleen. She preferrs trips with more driving and less spotting. She would have liked the second day at Bishop.

Well, LCC is quite rocky but you can take Mesquite Canyon to get up to Burro Schmidt Tunnel if you want to take her by yourself later. That road is suitable for just about any vehicle.

The tunnel is interesting as is the borax mine. Trying to do both in one day will make it a long day but it can be done.

Definitely not up for doing the Burro Schmindt tunnel again. My head still hurts from the last time in there. You can sure tell when he got older and hunched over near the end of the tunnel.

Yes, it's been too long. Had a great time, even though day was short. Would have loved to join you and the crew in Moab again, just can't manage to get away for that long yet - hopefully next year!

Glad you can make it! It is fun watching people revisit trail that they "cut their teeth" on. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Zach's reactions to revisiting Bishop.

Always interesting to run a trail again in a different vehicle also. I have run numerous trails in H1s and then run them in the H3 or vice versa. Pretty interesting.

Or at least in the same vehicle but a different configuration. I am looking forward to taking LCC with the 35" KM2s.

You enjoyed it? That trip is what got me hooked. Nothing like going back to the first trail you ran with the group. Love Bishop even though it isn't that technical. Although the first time up Wheeler Ridge was kind of intimidating for me :emb:

I feel the same way about Last Chance Canyon Zach, I remember that was the only thing I talked about for weeks. That trail opened me to the real world of wheeling. It was about time to get off the local fire roads.
