    It's interesting...originally, it was just a one day trip to on Black Bear Pass...now it sounds like it's going to be 2-3 days of exploring the area...

    :cool:

    I'll definitely be down there for 3-4 days driving around and taking it all in.

    Well thanks for sharing! hope you can make it!

    haha sorry Craig! :eek: didn't mean to cause rift in the decision. I can see where your coming from..thats a tough call..

    Im sure you'll have a blast either place you go though!

    Would enjoy having you here though :)

    I think it'll end up being 2..maybe 3 days..Mike and I will be pushing our time frames as it is especially him as he still has to get back to Seattle for work in time.

    So it could end up we have to kinda go quick..ish..but hopefully not too fast. Some epic stuff to see.

    It is possible this trip you're organizing monte will make me go full crazy expo on my brand new truck... Gotta convince the soon to be wife that truck camping is better than hiking camping :spy:

    No no no man! Don't do that..you have to first take her wheeling and truck camping and she will think its odd at first. Then like the luxuries THEN you tell her you can use it as a base camp for the backpacking trips ;)

    but yes..expo FTW!

    The .kmz file worked great. I know I'll probably be outa breath just climbing out of the truck but I really want to climb that 'little' hill just past the upper lake so I can photograph down valley with the two goose lakes in the foreground. :spy:

    Yeah, I agree. Morrison seems a bit sketchy.

    Goose lake will be pretty. But Morrison will be more of a challenge and still pretty awesome.

    Mike, don't feel bad... haha. I'm not taking the switchbacks on Morrison, but am coming in the other way, so I'm doing everything BUT the switchbacks... and I'm looking forward to Goose Lakes as well!

    Glad I watched that video... that is a lot rougher than I was expecting... Though it looks like if I/we take it slow and pick good lines, it should be easy enough...

    Ideally I'll have sliders by then. But I'm not sure yet. I'm willing to tackle it without sliders, I know my rig pretty well by now.

    where's mah credit on the Google Earth screenshot? MTgirl and I both contributed! :p just kidding.

    Morrison is gonna be fun! I really hope things work out and nothing gets in the way of me coming...

    Put me down as a maybe. I start my new job on Monday and hopefully I'll have a better idea in the next few weeks if it'll work out. Just depends on money and time... neither of which I have right now.:eek:
