Plateaucal,
Fear not, I had to leave LC in order to go to a weeding in Dallas. I will return to Dallas in three weeks for another wedding then I'm heading straight to LC hopefully arriving late on the 27th. The trail is always really beat up and potholed at the end of the year but easy in terms of 4 x 4 action. The only issue I foresee is keeping the motor running with the thin air but Rene says that isn't a problem we should worry with. Furthermore, it will be freezing up in the high country which will eliminate the possibility of vapor locking.
How about I book the yurt for an overnight after the loop. It is at 11,200' near Slumgullion Summit? So we come off Cinnamon Pass, traverse the Lake Sandoval from S to N hang a right, climb most of the way up to Slum Pass (on pavement) then off road a mile or so up to the yurt. How fun would that be! Huge fire and steaks. Sleeps six.
At present we have:
Plateaucal's 69 ...locally known as "The good one".
Anthony's 65 aka "El Bondo"
Curt's 65 aka Presidio Patrol
David's 63 aka Command and Control Vehicle 5 (CCV5)
David's 66 aka Phoenix Patrol possibly driven by Rene
Three vehicles have winches and all have new tires and good mechanical condition.
I sure wish we had one more driver, and we might, to drive my Rubicon as an emergency vehicle.
The door remains open. Anyone else?
