I tried it in a chevy truck non 4 wheel and did not make it back in 1973.

Then in 1975 I did it in the VW Thing. TOP OF THE WORLD MA!

In 1986 I went up it again in a Chev pu but was stopped by snow.
Then to the top in 1996 in a Chev PU 4-wd.

A regular size PU will make it.

I used to shoe horses up that canyon back in 1973.

We need to have screen writer in Hollywood make a move about your life.

Damn eviro-nazi whackos have just about ruined 4 wheeling. Roads closed. Off limits to vehicles. Gates everywhere.

Hell. 40 years ago we used to be cruising town on weekends. Get a bunch of folks together and we could be gone all day...and all night it you wanted. And never touch a paved road. Now....B.S. “They” just recently closed one of my favorite roads across the Rebecca mountains. White Gap. Beautiful and fairly challenging to cross. Get to the top of White Gap and there was a road that went back toward town across the ridge of the mountain for about 10 miles. Damn! Beautiful. Wish I had those pics where I’d go to the top during a snow. Unbelievable. I have them but not digital.

Anyway. From my house now, I can look out from my deck and see the Rebecca Mountains in the distance. Coincidentally the name of my last wife. She is beautiful, just like them. And every morning when I wake up I’m reminded of her. Just Great.
