I do all the time plus a shovel, anchor spike, hammer and a tool kit. Then there is my trail bag of camera, spot, gun, glasses, field glasses, GoPro, water and sometimes food.

Here's a short clip Arlin took of us in Lost Valley.

I don't have internet in the RV park I am staying and have to go to Calvin's or Shelby's laundromat to get online.

Here is a photo of the scene on the way to Fable Valley.



I would post some videos of trips but I am using a GoPro camera and the videos are long and I think they will time out using photobucket. I may see what I can do using Utube.

We left home at 10A and got back at 11P. We drove about 130 miles round trip and walked about 7 miles. We got about 14 mpg on the trip. The Valley is a Primitive study site now and few people go down there. It was a tiring trip but a good one.

You may remember that I put a Lock Right in my rear axle and I can tell you it made all the difference climbing hills, rock, sand or dirt. Where I used to spin the tires climbing I now have a solid pull all the way up. On the other trails I have done here this year it really surprised me at the difference it made just having the Lock Right in the rear.

Thanks for sharing your pics with us.  Nice to see Carl made it out here again.  As I always say, someday I want to get down there. :)

Our Labor Day trip begins on an old road just a few miles west of town.




Soon we climbed into the forests of the high country.� Carl's studying the map (I don't think he trust me).




We are still climbing for the high mountain plateaus (Carl is still reading the map).




Beware of the dangerous wildlife!




Across the open spaces of the high plateaus.




Not a cloud in the sky.� On such hot sunny days we always wear long-sleeved white shirts.




After having hiked 3 miles down into Fable Valley, explored there for a couple of hours, and hiked the 3 miles back up to our Jeeps, we're heading for home.




Working our way up and over a fun spot in the trail.� A camera just can't captivate how steep the slope is.�




Pretty good articulation for a stock suspension.




Carl's turn.




Once on top we brag to each other of our climbing skills.




With lengthening shadows we've still got 2 1/2 hours of trail ride to get back home.
