The trees are still there. We didn”t explore beyond them because night was falling and we needed to setup camp. We saw two or three groups of climbers heading beyond them.

I saw your blog and have a couple of questions: When I was last on Lennox Creek Road in summer of 08, there were tons of downed treed across the road between the start and the bear creek bridge. Did they clear all those trees?

Did you go past the closed bridge at Bear Creek?

We''re planning to head up that way soon, and would appreciate any additional road news you have.

Thanks

Tom

Jimmy,
alex used mapper.acme.com, while I used google maps terrain. the mapper site has topo, showing trails and what not, but google kind of has more recent maps. either way, they arent 100% accurate.

and one thing I”ll note about the hill climbing comment Lee made is that most people within the group were carrying liquid refreshment to share/go with dinner, and I was not. I”m positive this very rude lack of weight could have added to the ability to get me up the hill. I”ll be sure next time to have liquid refreshement to go with dinner.

again, i appreciate being invited on this ride, and it was a blast!

hey! to set the record straight, i did ride the whole thing, except for the last hill that i walked up with scott since we were tiiiirreeddd.

chasing rory up that road-turned-creekbed (that scott is descending here) was ridiculous. like trying to follow a mountain goat.

he did claim that he was only going that fast because of his limited gearing… maybe i can sneak a triple crank onto his bike before the next ride.

Absolutely beautiful photography. Made me want to go fishing! Something I”ve always wanted to do is bicycle up to the remotest places with my flyrod….

Have you done that?

Looks like a blast. What do you like for maps -both for trip planning and then for using whil out riding?

Leaf — I think you”ll have a wonderful time in the Gifford Pinchot. I still think about that tour frequently and have loose plans to repeat and expand on it next summer. I hope you”ll send email when you return with your thoughts on it.

Andrew — Thanks for the photos
