It was a great time out there and Kenny and Aaron did a great job on the suspension.

Kenny almost killed me on the way back to camp.  My seat was barely bolted in, the tires which had no tread left were squealing around the corners on the hwy, and then once on dirt it was like the Baja 1000.  When we went through the water crossing the tires were actually steaming. Thanks for the ride Kenny.   cover

The Holcomb trail seemed way shorter than years back.  I remember the second rock garden being much longer and with more trees.  It feels too developed now, what with all the clear cutting and paved roads.  Sad

Well the trees are gone because of the fires and then having to clear all the widow makers.. which i agree sucks.

The trail was a lot more awesome when it's was completely surrounded in vegetation. It made you feel like you were on safari.  Thumb-Up



The creek crossing had to be changed a bit due to some new california law.
