Good lord-a-mighty, man! Were you reading my mind??
I was just thinking about the Dusy yesterday! I would love to do it this summer, but I just don't know if it's going to happen for me. My ankle is still healing from the metal removal, and the thought of bouncing through 32 miles of rocks makes my stomach hurt right about now. But, hey...we've got a few months so I'm not ruling it out completely. When were you planning on coming out this way? Late June is usually the earliest it can be accessed depending on what kind of snow year we have.

No plans yet. I thought i'd throw it out there and see what happens. Hope your rehab goes well. TW

Pff-f-t, it's just a Jeep road. And you have MONTHS to heal. All you're doing is filling in the screw holes, right?
Ought to be easy.

And I believe they're having a pretty good snowfall up there this winter. Theresa will be up that way in the next week or 2, I can have her check with the locals about the snowpack. I'll bet you'll still find plenty of snow patches the end of June this year.
Scott wants to do a round trip of the Dusy, starting at the reservoir so we'd go UP Thompson Hill fresh and come back down when we, well, aren't. It'd be a long day (hey, it's ONLY 64 miles), but a cool ride. Only bad part is it would seriously limit time for stopping to gawk (or sun ourselves like lizards on the rocks).
I'll have a pile of vacation time by then (4 weeks currently on the books), so we might be able to do something about this this summer.

I'd be in some serious trouble if even half the folks succeeded :busted

Yeah, easy peasy! And yeah, it's just a Jeep road...how hard can it be, right??

I wasn't taking the "screw holes in the bones" thing all that seriously til I saw the x-rays taken last Monday. Yikes And to think I was planning on going dirt riding next week...Now I've also got an infection to deal with

Yep, I'm thinking you're right...

Yeah, great idea! If we're tired (heh...) we can just let gravity do the work and fall all the way down the hill Eric is chomping at the bit here, wanting to make sure you tell Scott that he's totally up for it. He also said "I know I can count on Scott!"

You mean like this?

Tim, I would ride my SV650 on the Dusy if that's what it would take to spend our vacations together this summer But what about Idaho? Is that still on? (By the way, Eric just said, "I can ride the SV on the Dusy!" Uh-oh...I sense a challenge, here )

Probably only needed a much smaller fraction than that.

All right, it has a spot or two...

You mean those freakin' big threads left freakin' big holes?
Wierd.
What's up with the infection? I hope you're attacking it aggressively (thinking of Dean here, as I'm sure you have been).

Gravity HAS to help us back down the hill, that's the LAW.
Heh, heh. Eric is easy...but then, I guess you already knew that. You'd better be careful about leaving Scott alone with Eric to work on him about his Baja 1000 team idea.

It'd be a long day (hey, it's ONLY 64 miles), but a cool ride. Only bad part is it would seriously limit time for stopping to gawk (or sun ourselves like lizards on the rocks).

Yeah, pretty much like that.

No worries Tami, it wouldn't be vacation without you guys. Idaho is the main goal, but maybe we can work in a long weekend on and around the Dusy. What was that other trail, Swamp Creek or something?
R.E. the SV on the Dusy: Let us know, because we'll come prepared to shoot maximum video, then we could write the trip off as an expense for our new Action Video Company. FWIW, I think Eric could do it too, but the SV wouldn't be quite as pretty after the day was done. Eric might not be either.
