The Utah group is up there. I received a PM from them this past weekend. They arrive today. If you're there tonight, you should be able to find them tomorrow if they camp at Spyder as they had referenced. (loon tonight, spyder tomorrow).

That's kind of thin!

What did you run? All the way across? Did you hit old sleuce, or run the slabs? Was it a two day run? Where did you camp? Was anyone else interesting out there? Where did you incur your body damage? Did you enjoy running true big sleuce? How did you like the ledge on cadillac?

Feel free to add your own observations as well!!!

let's hear it!

Camp out at Ellis Creek(not much sleep there,due to bears)continued travels,liked walker hill,went around Little Sluice,did Old Big Sluice(tight)checked out Buck Island(nice place,wouldn't mind camping here)Big Sluice is where i hit my tail light.Stayed at Rubicon Springs.Cadillac Hill speaks for itself,the runoff coming down the trail did not help,but by stacking rocks made life a little easier.Not very busy on the trail,camp with 3 other rigs at Ellis,saw 2 rigs pass by,lots of rigs at Buck Island,and Rubicon Springs

How many were in your group? Just you?

I've camped at Buck Island for 8 years and never had a bear problem. This year a guy from my club stayed there and he had his icechest stolen and the bear drank all his Dr. Pepper! The bear only had one Diet Pepsi however...
