Barney Riley - Dear Valley - Strawberry July 10, 11 , 12

[bkreece]

I'm putting together a run July 10, 11, 12. The itinerary is to do Barney-Riley friday, deer valley saturday and finish up the weekend with the Strawberry trail on Sunday. I haven't done any of these trails so I hope someone who has done them (and/or who has a gps) is interested in coming along. A few people I have talked to are interested in day trips, so as in other runs - meet up with us when you can! Plans for campgrounds and rendezvous points/times to come.

this time of year barney is DUSTY and DIRTY, you have to stagger trucks so you can see through the dust cloud. :)

Hey all,
Just got back...Pkelly, PBnFJ, Mrs Boz and I were warn out from the DV run and decided to skip Strawberry and head home. Vaughn, 5and5torm, Dheigher and Estysalinas headed out to Strawberry as we headed down 88.

Thank you everyone for coming...will post a trail report later this evening.

Mrs Bozly here,
Thanks for a great first run. I had a ball and enjoyed meeting you all. Thanks to everyone for the help to get through. I am in for the next run.

there was never a moment when the mosquitoes didn't attack - this was the best of the group shots I could get as the ticks tried to attach them selves to my legs - ah the great outdoors
