A big thanks to Eric for putting this run together and leading the train. We started at the trail head for Gold Mountain and it was a picture perfect day. We had 7 rigs which included a landcruiser, two 4-runners, three FJ's and one jeep. We had Eric in the lead followed by me-Steve then Bill, then Steve, then Shuly, then Steve and rear guard Dave. Too many Steve's
Gold Mtn proved to be a bit moderate in three places, but since John was not present, no damage was reported.
With a bit of spotting here and there everyone made it. As an aside, I have never seen so many motorcycles on GM. I understand there was an event. Many of these folks were very nice, however, some were complete idiots and tested--at least-- my patience. Some just seemed not to be able to control their bikes and were out of control. At the first obstacle, one MC came right through where people and children were standing--and they were on the side. Another fool tried to pass Steve as he was climbing up the ledge and lost control and he fell almost into his FJ and had Steve not stopped, he would have hit him.
We then went to Jacoby. This is always a scenic trail and we stopped for lunch in the shade of the trees just beyond the stream. We then made our way to Cactus Flats and split up. Eric, Steve and I made a run to Heartbreak and took a road less traveled--which was blocked and then a quick turn around to another unfamiliar road through the Yucca's and back to the 38 where we aired up. It was a nice day in the woods.
Cheers, Steve
