This is best-guess, but I’m thinking they will be off the mountain between 2 and 4.

I am interested in joining in. What time do you expect to be finished?

Glad you enjoyed our handy work up on the Plains. I was on the Toutle and Butte Camp trails on the 2nd. see my tire tracks?! The Bear Grass is phenomenal this year right now. Also went up to the Loowit Trail. I love that area of the mountain. The first washout on the Loowit is a dangerous crossing, and I can only imagine what the 2nd larger one is like. On the 3rd, three of us rode the Boundary Trail as an out/back from Elk Pass to Ghost Lake. A great adventure. We had a blast! But on hot days make sure riders have plenty of water in the blast zone. Heat stroke on the climb back up in the blast zone is a real possibility on hot sunny days. Today 15 of us rode Ape Canyon, and had a good time.

Thanks for the recon…why didn’t you ride down over to the Ptarmigan and on over the ski trails to Red Rock? It’s a true adventure.
