Now, I don't know about the Top of the World poses - I'd last about 5 seconds on that edge before the vertigo would kick in... I'm envious cause it looks like an awesome view...

It was an amazing place... If it were cooler during the day and the bugs were less it would have been absolutely perfect.

You took some great pics Ollie!

It was awesome to wheel with you on Kokopelli the pictures don't do it justice.
Because in the end it has almost nothing to do with the bike and everything to do with setting
out to accomplish something that is intimidating, that is unknown to you, something you know you
have a good chance of failing at but doing it anyways and slowly but surely proving yourself wrong.

Ollie,

What's the vertical clearance on that overhang on the Yankee Boy Basin picture? it looks like some of those FJs may have had to remove their roof loads to get by.

There's actually more clearance than it appears. I think your Pinzgaur would fit under it. There's quite a few Pinzgaur tour trucks up there. At any rate, I know a full sized lifted truck can fit under it.

Since we can now add GPX hiles, I uploaded the Kokopelli GPX file to the Kokopelli post of this thread. :D
