LOL; yes, fortunately I was able to make two(2) grades higher than Captain. No harm, no foul-- kinda' like Captain Fantastic was AK Falco's true intent. So in that limelight, thanx for the compliment.

It was a fun trip. Just disappointed with all of the trail roadblocks. "Travelin2" discovered a way to skirt the steel gate barrier on the primary U.S.F.S. trail to Marble Mountain with some added chainsaw effort and ingenuity, but that is probably a Federal crime on Federal land and I for one don't like a Federal Court Room. My highest personal experience in court was City Traffic Court, and I didn't like that either.

We will continue to search for an alternate off-road location; however, a bit further North.
