I have so so many more pics... I did have my worst motorcycle crash so far out there.
Going about 35mph and hit a small hump in the road shifted my weight up, and grabbed the brakes and locked up the wheels and it slammed me down on my left side. HARD. Slid for about 10-15 feet. Laid there for awhile. Then picked the trusty KLX after sliding right along with me and she fired right up and away i went to go back to the house and get in the hot tub... lol. The one pic of the klx in the mud, it was like a 2' drop off into it and i was too tired and brain wasnt working right and i just messed it up. Went over the bars. Drug out the klx and kept going.

Man, it looks like Ingram Creek there on Black Bear was flowing like crazy. They've had some heavy snow this year, and the melt runoff has been huge. I'm leaving in the morning for my KLX annual ride there. Good pics, EMS.

Nice pictures, looks like you were able to cover a lot of ground. I notice you took Washington Gulch to Paradise Divide to get around the avalanche at Emerald Lake. Did you go down to the Devil's punchbowl, West from Schofield Pass? What jetting did you eventually use and how did the bike run? What single track is shown in your pictures?

The punch bowl was clear, but this was just down hill of it.

I put the 125 main jet in, and the clip on the top position on the needle. Screw turned out to 1 turn. It was still rich down low, but mid and high it ran great.
