    Detailed trip info and coordinates coming via e-mail shortly!
    Crap dont have JD's email. This was the most updated itinerary. Its a slow pace with anticipated side excussions. We can nail something down this week.


    DAY1
    Pleasant Canyon 930ishAM start up to the closed bridge and back.
    Camping at dusk possibly by a cabin if one is open.
    Day 2
    Start 8am
    head down pleasent canyon
    Stop in at Ballrat and say hi to the Rockie who looks over the place.
    up Goler canyon and over Mengel pass
    Camp at dusk possibly by cabin if one is open.
    Day3
    Start 8am
    Harry Wade rd
    Saratoga springs (pup fish and a historic mule team watering hole)
    Ibex dunes (cant drive on them)
    Ibex mine
    lunch in Baker(Mad Greek? Sooo good!)

    The changes are to day1. There is alot to see in pleasant canyon so a earlier start up there is optimal. Also the change allows the "torch party" (thurday night group) to have a very good chance of securing a cabin for thur and friday night that everyone can enjoy. Fish canyon is a interesting drive for historical value and getting off the pavement quicker, but it was an easy cut against a better chance at a cabin and more time in pleasant canyon. This poses some issue for both thursday night people, and friday morning people so more directions and info will be worked out.

    Cool. I assume the cabin we're heading to Thursday night is at the top of Pleasant Canyon? If that's the case, I might not attempt it that night, depending on what time I get there. I have a big meeting at 3 on Thursday, which got pushed back to 4 last time, so I don't see myself getting on the road (starting to sit in traffic) until 4:30 at the earliest, which will put me there around 9, I estimate.

    The drive up Pleasant Canyon is not bad at all, especially if you use the bypass road. It's pretty much a smooth road the whole way. There are a number of structures in the canyon so we need to make sure everyone is meeting at the right one and also establish a clear backup site. Can you send your e-mail address to me or Troy so we can get the details out (and also to Dav who I'm guessing is not monitoring this thread)?
