Holy smokes what a day! took a packed eagle van with tons of fired up peoples. took the plunge around 11:30 from ej bowl hung and right with brian and timmaY for some slowwwww smooth climbs. hit 4200 and headed west to altanaor then no name. scratched at no name for a while until timmy and brian found the boomer so east we went. great climbs/glides down to thermal factory. from then on we scratched and kicked and yelled all the way down to castle bobbing from 2.2k to 3.5k very slowly. at castle we started getting higher and got about 4300 and had a tailwind at the powerlines so came into noon at a good spot. the 3 of us climbed beautifully to 5500 there. i thought we had it made......went to west divide and i screwed the donkey. got impatient there and thought i would have better luck at east divide. hammer and LJ have always said never to go there but it looked awesome with the sun shining on the rocks...ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh... got dam ground got me again!! before i knew it i had landed behind la granada mountain on the dirt road. timmy and brian were patient at west divide, hooked it to white ledge where they got 6k and headed to the high school. i had a couple hour 5 mile-ish walk down through nature to the 33. A couple people came by and they werent real interested in giving me a ride, but they sure got a chuckle telling me how much further i had to walk. the first guy said 6 1/2 miles.. i dont think it was that far. I landed about 3000 feet so it was mostly downhill. one nice guy gave me a ride up one of the hills. Got to the road a little after five and DD was right there to pick me up. Thanks Brotha!!
