Jim,
O think it was 1998 when you suggested a trip from east of QS to the Long Term area south of town.
The first "Ridge" trip by the forum. As I followed you winding up the side of a slope (mountain?) on what appeared to be an ATV trail - too narrow, my outside tires were off the trail part of the time, I wondered what the side inclination had to be before we tipped. Turns out from later experience we weren't close, but I didn't know that at the time.
Finally we are on the Ridge. Then you stopped and said the trail ended. No problem, except as I remember it was too narrow to easily turn around. Thoughts of backing down the trail crossed my mind, until we got out and found the trail continued it just dropped so steeply you couldn't see it from inside the car.
Really fun trip. Some how later trips didn't seem nearly so adventuresome, but still a lot of fun.
Its always good to be following a good leader. Remember folks, this was all pre GPS.
