    Also....if you're in a trail limo, there are some really tight areas that require you to maneuver a bit. It's pretty steep on the down hill portion.

    I doubt I will get up that way until late afternoon. Got a small list of chores to do in the morning before I leave.

    The prerunner did fine last time I was there but I'll probably just bring the Rubicon for the comfort. That is if I can get these chores taken care of before it gets to late.

    Looks like the trailhead is a little under 3 hrs. Maybe 11 AM. Could possibly make it earlier.

    Did you suddenly get sick, too? Or does she have special needs while she is sick?

    My experience is my wife would prefer i GTFO and leave her TF alone for that period of that, so good time for wheeling trips.

    I'm out on any runs until I figure out why my head gets woozy when I'm driving. Just driving to and from work every day is an adventure.

    Is it equilibrium issues? Like it comes on suddenly and things just start spinning or you get really light headed.

    I got the same issue. I tried everything “treat vertigo at home” YouTube video did nothing for me. I found that eating a lot of sugar and dairy set me off (strangely enough) I took someone’s advice and did a three day juice fast and it disappeared for like two years and now it’s starting to come back. I need to do that juice thing again...

    Yeah, it's kinda like that. Hopefully it's an inner ear thing and I get it treated and get back to normal soon. But I guess I'll find out when I go see the doctor in a couple of weeks.

    It’s only happened one time when I was driving and thank God there wasn’t any cars around me! I just pulled over to the side of the road and let the “wave” pass.

    In my case, I’m convinced it’s certain foods that causes it.

    Sugar caused it and a juice fast fixed it?
