I really haven't put in any effort since the trip out to Afton Canyon in November. I need to run the rest of the trail. I'm not much of a tour guide, but I thought I should make an effort to re-acquaint myself with some of the landmarks and history of the trail. Early April is about the time where winter weather and summer heat are mild enough to create the most pleasant time in the Mojave.
Ted,
All good. I was planning on running it solo in late March early April depending on work etc. I’ll keep an eye out, if I end up running it sooner, I’ll post some updated trail conditions.
Do you need help wrenching?
Ted,
Ted,
I had to return to Michigan. My wife’s dad has been hospitalized going on two weeks with no real end insight. They almost put him in hospice yesterday. I made it as far as San Antonio Texas before I flew Carla home then drove back home myself. We have canceled all travel plans until May or June when we will try going to Alaska. Hopefully family issues for my wife will be resolved by then.
Sorry to hear about your wife's father. Keep the trail in mind. My brother coincidentally hit me up about going out to some of the points of interest along the trail, but hopping on the highway between them. I'll probably do some hybrid pre-run soon and I'll be able to be a better guide. It's pretty chilly at night out there this time of year and can dip into the teens on occasion. I think our pre-run will be day only. The best time to run the trail is in the spring or fall. Our annual horse ride that went from Camp Cady on the west end to the Colorado River was in March every year. Most years it was decent camping and great day weather.
