Re: [RC] Marking the OD Trail up Sherman's Gap - Truman Prevatt
So there is a rock every 3.01 inches instead of every 3 inches ;-).
Peolpe have been hauling rocks off that mountain for years but no dent
has been made. The OD is rocks.
As someone I ended up crewing for a few ago years - when I went out to
meet him coming into McCoy's Ford (right after Sherman's) said,
"...whoever <explicative deleted> put that climb at 80 miles
should be shot!".
Good luck to all starting out Saturday at 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM or
whatever time they start out.

kicking away and tossing off as many of the loose rock as possible.
They sure better appreciate it, too, since I'd just gotten my nails
done! :-)
Tomorrow is vetting in. I'll be back at
the Pickett Springs vet station in the afternoon to ride up Sherman's
Gap one more time to inspect my ribbons, make sure everything is in
order, and kick a few more rocks out of the way for the ride on
Saturday.
Here's wishing all the OD 75 and 100 mile
riders "Good Luck"!!
