Just throwing it out there to see if anybody else is up for a nice little night run, something simple and easy. Thinking maybe Gold Mountain??
Nah, its easy to find the trailhead on the backside. What's hard to see in the dark is the turnoff for the talus slope. Couple years ago at SCF, I was leading a Gold Mountain night run. I had Danwho riding with me. Since we were busy talking, we completely missed the turnoff for the talus slope. But the other three Jeeps managed to find it. We realized that we were alone and told the others that we would meet back up with them where the two trails reconnect. We found that intersection, at least we were reasonably sure we were at the right place. We sat there quite a while until the other Jeeps finally came down the trail. It was completely dark that night. It was pretty creepy just sitting there. Glad I had someone with me. Ha.
The trails are completely different at night. Especially John Bull and Deep Creek. You don't know where you are until you come upon a familiar obstacle. A lot of fun though. I'd be up for a Friday night run. You just don't want me leading.
+2 for night run. I'm sure Trevor and I will be in on this night run. Gold mountain sounds fun.
I am down, got some LEDs I need to test in the real world... ha
Found our leader!
Guys with bright lights go in front!
