    Trip Report Wyoming BDR August 16-26

    Gary, Ken and I continued south from Baggs, WY on the north portion of the CO BDR. We went out separate ways today in Buena Vista, CO. The rain the last 2 days meant that we skipped some segments between Weston Pass and town to save the trails I still have to get home, so I won't add anything...

    East Mojave Heritage Trail mini report

    The missing segment 3 months after I completed the above sections of the EMHT, I decided to run the section I skipped, as I had some time on my way to Death Valley. This missing segment starts at the Valley Wells Slag Heap mentioned in post #19, and travelling clockwise ends at Cow Cove north of...

    East Mojave Heritage Trail mini report

    Hi folks. To assist Luinil, I am currently editing my posts in this thread to provide a little better detail. As always, when I read something I composed after >6 months has passed, I find that I could've done a much better job in the editing process! I should be completed with edits within a...

    ExploreDesert - Southern Emigrant Trail

    I have the same thoughts about allowing access to the Carrizo stage station area! It is very strange seeing the barely legible (old) signs at the east end, with several very well used roads going past the signs. When approaching from the west, while still in the State Park, it is more clearly...

    Death Valley 2017

    I was on Steel Pass December 2021, and it was worse than I've ever seen over the last 12+ years. I wouldn't say that all the rough areas change every year, but they do change when there has been significant rainfall, so perhaps every 2-3 years. Bottom line, travel with good spotters if...

    Hood Mounted Solar Panels by Cascadia....anyone have in use?

    I like your setup! Which panel did you use, and do you have more details of how it's attached?

    X-bull Recovery Tracks worked great!

    Awesome! I've used my army green x-bull recovery boards for 3 recoveries in ~4 years: once for me, twice for others. In all cases, the boards were required as the only viable solution, and in two cases, they were paired with a recovery strap (but the boards were still necessary.) If the only...

    East Mojave Heritage Trail mini report

    Sorry I didn't see your post before! I did the complete route, and your GPS tracks were indispensable! I'm sure there would've been many miles of backtracking using just the books and the addendums. I skipped only one of the "hard" sections as stated in Post #14. Post #19 mentions skipping a...
