What an epic trip! Although you guys didn't get to join in this time, I really appreciate all the tips and answers to my questions. It certainly won't be any time soon, since the 15 hour drive isn't real fun, but I do plan to get back to Fordyce ASAP. Bumped a lot of places down to claim the #2 spot on my list of favorite places to wheel - which says a lot considering the below statement.
I broke a rear chromo shaft at WH3 that turned into a bigger problem, so I'm sad to say I didn't get to see anything past that - which I hear there's some pretty awesome stuff still to be seen between there and Summit City/ML.
