SunMan said:It was a pleasure to finally meet you and the Lady, as mentioned it was inevitable. If memory serves me correctly we just missed each other in the same area about four years ago, glad it didn't happen again. I'm not sure if you even noticed but in case you were wondering about the mysterious passenger I had aquired as you passed me at SVR & 190. I picked up a wayward Swedish cyclist pedaling headlong into those nasty winds as I was airing up. He was trying to make it to Lone Pine that night, fortunate for him I gave him a lift to Olancha as this is what was in store for him in the valley...URL=]http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/gallery/image/15418-dsc-2323/][/URL]
Thanks Lighthawk! We can't wait to hear about your trip!Lighthawk said:Great write up Ski.
We were down canyon, but the other side of Steele Pass.
Great that you met Sunman in Saline Valley, and later shadyapex too. I've been thinking it would be great if there was a gallery or maybe an avatar (one that it's big enough to see) of our rigs. I often see a popup on the road and wonder if they are part of the cult. Just think of there was a gallery where a quick scroll could help make the ID. Of course it's strictly voluntary. If we have a suggestions thread, I can move this comment.
Just remove all the current tracks by smoothing out the ground. Old farts carry a track broom. I like to know if someone or a critter has visited while we are gone. Setting track traps is fun while backpacking. Do a perimeter around your camp before bed and check it in the morning. You may be surprised what came by and you didn't hear a sound. What you find shouldn't lead to fear but the fact that for the vast majority of times what's out there only has a passing curiosity about us.GroovyDad said:I've never heard of track traps, but that's a great idea. What do you do, just scrape a line across the road to see if someone's passed?
Ski3pin has his forum handle lettered on the side of his camper so that's how I knew who I would be meeting on the hike that day. I've never thought of doing it but it did lead to a pleasant encounter and conversation on the trail. Maybe a WTW sticker could be made that one could display. Kind of like a secret handshake or something.Lighthawk said:Great write up Ski.

I think the last ones done were by my daughter. I know she had not made any in some time. Her email is in the video attached below. I also had a few Meadow Lake Rally stickers made that I gave away.craig333 said:Actually we do have WTW stickers. Dirty Dog made the first ones. Not sure if anyone still has any left.
