Mountain weather is weird. You can't see it in the picture but off to the right it was raining all day, but the rain was evaporating when it reached the basin you see in the pic. In this picture of our campsite on the mountaintop you can see the rain in the distance. Later in the evening the rain did reach us.
And the next day, we got hailed on by a thunderstorm. Here it is moving in (we are at about 9000 feet, lots of lightning, pretty exciting)
Then the hail started, not large fortunately, but it built up quickly on my hood
I had so much fun in the Trooper this trip I decided not to sell it, for a while anyway. I don't want to beat up the FJC yet as it is still in pristine condition, and the Trooper just works very well. It is worth more to me than the $$ I could get for it.
See that squiggly line going up the opposite canyon wall in the lower right of the pic? That is the Morrison trail. We did it the day after this pic was taken. 23 very tight switchbacks. I had to 3 point all of them but one or two.
Not that's beautiful country , that trail reminds me of the noon day trail I went on a few years ago .. I'd like to get out that way and see some of that country !!
I wish I had gotten some pics of the switchbacks, they are TIGHT. The hundy LC you see ahead of me sustained some body damage on one of them, it is just a bit longer than the Trooper or JK.
