yup, couldn't handle the trail as it got more technical and we haven't even got to the fun stuff yet. He got out of his rig and started walking back to the trail head, and that was that to say the least. This dude was also Vice Pres. of the TTORA SoCal chapter at the time.
Sounds like you handled the situation really well. I would have left that fucker there and notified the nearest ranger station.

Kinda what I was thinking, especially if they weren't too far in.
Wrong answer people. :facepalm:
There was no questions between us who were on the trail with him that we could not leave a dude in the middle of a wilderness who was in the middle of a mental breakdown.

sidenote: It was this trip that we all decided that CB radio sucks as a viable means of communications and the only solution was for us to invest in HAM/Race radios. Haven't used a CB radio sense.

I don't advocate leaving people and probably wouldn't leave someone that mentally fucked up on the trail either. If he was capable of driving his truck out the way he came in though, that's a different story.

Pending dates of the Elk hunt and draw results... put me on the maybe list.

So how about dates. Do we wanna do a long trip and hit up the other trails nearby this time around?
Wanna do Friday - the following Sunday? That gives us 8 days of wheeling and two travel days. Or if we need less days just come home early like we did last year.

How does the date range of Friday August 9th to Sunday August 18th sound?

9th is too early in the month for me. I could probably split by the 14th. Reports should be done by then. I need to find out when Robbie goes back to school.

What is the weather like that time of year out there? I have no idea where this is.
It’s in the Sierras above Fresno. Weather was I think from the mid 70’s during the day I think to probably the mid 40’s at night. I think. All I remember was the weather was perfect
