I unloaded at the lake bed, planning to stay with Chase's crew repairing the Runner with the melted bearings, then decided at the last minute to head out with Troy's group to run Lower Big Johnson.
What was supposed to be a two hour run, stretched into an all night run! After running Lower, we continued on to Upper, which I just couldn't resist running, and then heading back to the lake bed, saw another group heading for Jack North. Drawn like iron to a magnet, I followed and ran with 'em. Back to the lake bed a little after dawn.
NO write-ups with pics for this trip since I THOUGHT I was just going out for a two hour run! I left my camera and bag of food at the tow rig.
Luckily I had my cooler with the Red Bulls already strapped in the back of TII.
We had great weather, met new people, saw some innovative rigs and even enjoyed some fireworks at the end of the night.
Chase has been the driving force behind these full moon runs at Johnson Valley, and I want to thank him here for starting something. I was awake for 27 hours and driving for 18 of those. I wouldn't miss it!
