    Sounds really good, but just got word my buddy wants to postpone to another weekend. I still might head up that weekend, not sure yet. But I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the offer, it'd be great to ride with you.

    Thanks New2. Great pictures. I want to go back so bad now.

    I've always regretted not getting a picture of the sign on Whitney Portal that says: "Caution: Bears After This Sign" or something to that effect. I found it quite humorous.
