Excelsior!
The starting line for this event was a lonely miner's cabin, tucked away in the hills at almost 6000'.
Brave souls from all over came to meet the challenge, their trusty rigs having been carefully prepared for the rigors of the unyielding terrain.

Our first campsite, a cabin that is on few maps and for which no one has published the exact location. When you find it you'll become a member of the Adopt A Cabin Cult
Note the "tiny" little tent next to the red Tacoma. Has JR got it made, or what?
Heading out for the first day's challenge, Friday October 12th
dire warnings....
Loud and fast movers in the sky from China Lake NAWS

After a climb up the first canyon we stopped to check out the views of the area
Next was a nice hike to an old mine and its structures that were just up above the main road across the Inyo Mountain trail
Nice views of the Sierras!
pump house
Nice, solid rock
The proverbial light at the end of the tunnel?
We think that the pipe was for air....

We had a hint of rain in the air so I set up my Black Diamond Megamid tent to cover my extra gear at my campsite.
After a great potluck dinner (chocolate cake, kielbasa sausage, honey roasted ham, taco salad, hot dogs and more) we turned in to rest up for Saturday's adventures.
Getting ready to move out!
on the road to the next rally point with trusty trailers in tow..
The Lost Burro Mine was the first checkpoint for Saturday's Sojourn
