No need! We're rollin' in style! I've got a royal carriage all lined up.*



*You'll be pulling me in the carriage.

Thats fine. I'll train while you sit around and get fat.

Hey, the roles had to reverse at some point.

Exactly.

It is less about the number of people and more about the chosen "route". People will tend to follow exactly in the footsteps of others for a combination of two reasons. First, they notice (even if only subconciously) the disturbance left by previous people. Second, the terrain at RRG dictates people's movements - obstacles like fallen trees, thickets, steep sections, and cliffs filter people onto

I already see an errosion problem developing at the bottom of the hill near the bridge on 9a. Most of that wear is from campers using that camp site, but it has gotten much worse in the past two years. Use as an approach is starting to lead curious campers up the same "path" and thus the scar/trail extending farther and farther up the hill.

I was about to tease Kris about his navigation skills and Wicked about his laziness, but then I checked out the directions in the guidebook. No wonder you guys are whining. I've got better directions from an old supplemental mini-guide (from before John's 2nd edition). I'll post these directions under a new thread.

Shoot, my navigating is impecable. (unless its to Muscle Beach...shut up Artsay....) I found it just fine after a nice romp over the river and thru the woods.


Somebody needs to tell that logging road that its a road, and not just the forest floor.

Follow the deer path, I say. But watch out for poop.

Wow, Alan... that's profound... I'm gonna apply that to life in general...

The logging road is casual. It gets you to any of those crags as long as you know where to head uphill.
