Rim Rocker Trail 7 to 9 Oct 23 Day 1

My friend Jess and I run the rim rocker trail in a 4Runner and Wrangler - we start at Montrose Colorado heading west. We stay in a public campground at a road crossing called Ball Park (because it used to be an old ball park). Unfortunately, I didn't get any video of the campground that night but we did see one of Elon Musk's starling trains

I thought I would see you rocking the catalyst lol. Good seeing you are still keeping busy. Enjoy

I am going to work on that. I have a broken L5 and have been in a lot of pain the last 18 months. I am getting it fused mid july and after a 6 month recovery I hope to be able to resume backpacking in 2025

@@soaringeagleoutdoors sorry to hear that. I hope everything goes well. I have been doing section hikes on the AT when I can. I did Amicola falls to Neel Gap so far. Sassafras is no joke. Next year I will finish georgia after I retire. Then I will head to West Virginia and go north. I took all your trail comments and noted them in my guthook guide. Hopefully someday you finish the AT. I will follow that one for sure.
