Hi Darin,nice to see you today at Joplin trailhead and chat a bit. Met up up with Disco doing maint. and helped a tad and then we started our descent. Wow ,some tricky switchbacks requiring WAB but good intense fun. Then we both crashed in the steep rock, first the engine(Disco) then the caboose(me) I managed to quickly notice a dislocated pinky on me and gave it the appropriate alignment and cont. down to Old Camp. It was fun overall having a buddy system and enjoyed the descent to the Luge, however all ascents sucked from Old Camp onward. Got off the trail and saw the Sheriffs writing post Christmas tickets to multitudes at Modjeska Grade. Hauled fanny back to Tucker and noticed my rear tire was 2/3rds flat at my truck. Aint no better timing! Was nice getting aquainted with Disco too. Enjoy SJ bro.
