Uh, I think the wrong impression is starting here. The first weekend there won't be ANYBODY there except our own little world. It's great. Also, whatever the BLM guy said, I've never seen that many people there, not even close. Dove Springs gets pretty full later in the week and Jawbone has it's share but that's not until Wednesday night and Thursday. Even then, most people stay in the canyon while the "loonies" go on long trail rides.
Thumbs, Eel, Bundy, Jimbo, Boodac, Captain Jack, KTMBoy, we'll be arriving Friday night, ready to party. Can't wait!
