| Back down the Jim Fisk |
Notes: Fabulous ride. Blake and his friends packed into Pine Lakes for an overnighter. They went in via the Pack Station. I thought it would be fun to show them how to come out the top of PL and down the Jim Fisk trail so they could make a loop instead of up/back. Coordinating that could have been more difficult than it turned out. Blake and I lucked out and got enough cell service at the right time to meet up at Little Eagle Meadows about the same time. Going up/down the Jim Fisk is a tad gnarly but everyone did pretty well. Landon's saddle and pack horse had the most difficult time as they were not in the greatest shape. It was Drifters most technical trail yet. He did so good and was a trooper climbing up/down a 2k+ elevation gain with little to no switchbacks and a trail littered with granite boulders.

| Made it to town - only one rider down. He had all he could do in the saddle and opted to walk down the steep JF. Pretty sure he won't forget a pair of walking shoes next time. |
