They had graded the road recently (it seemed) and it wasn't as bad as I had heard. However, I'm driving a high clearance truck but I didn't have to shift it to 4WD.
Hi Eric, yes, I had to travel a bit to get this one. However, work starts this week so I had to get it in under the wire. My mom lives in LV so we stopped and spent some time with her before heading to Death Valley. Thanks as always and we have to get out soon. Today would've been nice but I can't play all the time.
Tell me about it. I had to reshingle my roof this weekend. I sold the house. Moving to Layton this week while we start to build. But, I'm planning on a peak the last weekend of the month. Not sure which one though. Maybe Graham out by Wendover.
You had a pretty clear day. I did it in May '06 on a very windy but super clear day. I was off from Mohogany Flat just before sunrise and the 1st to summit. Within minutes others started showing up, maybe 30 or so over the next hour. You could see all the way from White Mtn. Peak east of Bishop all the way to San Gorgonio. It's one of the desert classics. Glad you could get to it.
You had 30 people up there, what a contrast compared to the zero that I had. It was a great hike and one that I had wanted to do for some time. I wish I had of had time for Wildrose Peak while I was there but I had to get home. That is a great area. Thanks for your comments.

Very nice mountainIt's a gorgeous area with amazing views. How was the road from the Kilns to Mahagony Flat? Cheers.

Re: Very nice mountainThanks, that's nice. The last time I was there the road after the kilns was in really bad shape. Cheers.
