Reached AOP about 5 and set up camp. Power and water hookups made life SO much better!

In years past, that was know as just "Camping"

This is also known as "Hobo'ing" if you're not doing so away from "home" :lol:

Next, we headed down to check in

After that we hit the black diamond trail "55" which was too much for me last time on 33's

On to 4, hands down the best trail of the day! Only thing that woulda been better would have been to stay on 65 and try that section....but 41 and 65 would be a whole day for a group this big

We had several trees down at one point. None of us had a saw but I had a full size axe, and we had a couple of hand saws and made quick work of it as a team

The cave was freakin AMAZING!!! If you haven't seen video of it, just youtube search....you'll see how to get a rig in and out of it.

Our guide got snagged on a rock and had to winch off a flat spot (aka @Nakoma style)

Looks like an awesome trip. I read a comment somewhere that mentioned 17 rigs! Did that many CTB folks make it or did ya'll join in with some folks out there? That is a large group!
 
Wow. I bet that was slow moving on the obstacles!
