Big Thanks Nancy and Roger,
This was my first trip to Bootleg Canyon, I honestly did not know what to expect, Stinkyrider aka (Al Bundy) has been pushing me to go since last years STR trip.
Well these were some of the panic stricken thoughts going through my head on my first trip down.........this is some serious serious rocky technical $hit, exposure, drop exposure, big drop quick turn, more exposure where's the trail, that's the trail, this could get very ugly.
From the second run on tunnel vision began to kick in (thank god), I stopped thinking about jagged exposure, and impalement, and I began to relax and flow with the terrain. I definitely can't wait to come back and ride this place again.
Interesting observations:
The Casino Hotel we stayed I think it was called "Hells Waiting Room & Casino". It was like stepping back into time, 70's cover band, elderly people chain smoking and playing slot machines with two hands, like there life depended on it, The Casino restaurant had a great breakfast buffet, and nobody complained about riding my Sunday around the lobby.
Saturday Shuttle got a little over crowded, I think the shuttle driver brought his dog on one ride up we were packed in like sardines, Stinkyrider was the last man on the shuttle and had to sit on the floor boards with bull dog butt in his face, literally in his face.
I'm pretty sure We may need to find another Dinner restaurant to eat at, cough.....cough....Jeff....cough
It was great meeting and riding with everyone !
Thx,
Happy
