Bearclaw Poppy Trail again

by Dave Johnson

September 27 2008

Kent, me, Statton, Taylor, and Ben did the Bearclaw poppy trail again. It’s been a few months since Taylor, Ben and I did it. I spend half of the night saying to myself “don’t chicken out, don’t chicken out.” before I know it, it was 3:00am after Kent got lost a few weeks back we decided to take him down the right way.

I don’t know about Kent but I looked at my GPS track log and I have a few circles in it. But I eventually committed to dropping in. as did Kent.

Red Bull Rampage 2008: The Evolution

by Dave Johnson

September 10 2008


After months and months of rumors its official, the Red Bull Rampage is back. It will be returning October 2nd – 5th, and they couldn’t find a place better than the sweet redrock in my back yard. The Rampage is going back to Virgin, Utah. But in a different location and with a little work on Google earth and looking at the photos I can tell that they are going to be riding down gooseberry mesa right strait to the bottom. I know for sure that I’ll be there on October 5th to watch the finals.

Anasazi Trail

by Dave Johnson

September 1 2008

Anasazi Trail wasn’t too bad on saturday. Kent and me made good time climbing 550ft to the top, But I think I pushed myself to my limit today. I was feeling good untill I got 50ft from the top. We had a nice break took some photos and Kent took off for the top. I stayed for a second and just when I was about to get going I threw up four times. too bad Kent wasn’t around because that would have been a sweet photo

After That I wasn’t doing so good. I made it to the top and rode down to the petroglyphs and took a break. Kent went down the cliff edge and got pictures while i stayed on top tring to walk off my sickness. other then that very uneventfull for me.

I decided instead of going back through the rough rock gardens and slick rock, I decided it would be best to ride the highway back to Santa Clara.
