Here are the highlights:
We started off before dawn and made it to Mineral creek in 2:01. That includes a 7 minute "Tc pit stop" (see video below) and the 10 minutes it took to cross Mineral Creek.
We took it easy to No Name Ridge with only 4-5 snow fields to cross we made it there in 2:01.
3 hours and 5.5 miles of running and trail searching later, we're back at the No Name A/S location on the way back to the car.
Down to Mineral Creek in 1:23 and back through the TFH in 1:51. That's 10:24 at a smoking fast average pace of 2.7 MPH! Sure, we didn't get to see the whole section but it was a good time on our feet run.
As you may or may not have already heard one of us took a tumble off this log. Now and forever called Tony's Log.
And I happen to get it on video.
Watch This!

The View! It doesn't look like there's that much snow to me.

You can't see it in this photo but both Shela and I have red lights on the back of our head... Just in case a Bear was to drag either one of us off into the woods.

Here's Tony running like nothing ever happened. He must have landed on his ponytail.

If this isn't proof that tc isn't some sort of alien then I don't know what is. That's the worst crash I've ever seen him do but I'm not surprised he managed to dust himself off and keep running. I watched him do a total NASCAR crash running down the Tiger Mt. "Highway" in chunky sharp rock. He crashed rolled, flailed, flopped and spun. Then he bounced up with nary a scratch and continued running. Looks like he's added free-fall and flowing water to his act.
That had to be a scary moment. Glad he's OK. Make him use the handrails next time!
So did Glenn rag-doll down the rock that Monica is climbing? Do you need to do some death defying stunt to have a rock or log named after you? And how did you get Shela across "Tony's log"?
FYI, that video is best played at 1/2 speed!
Years ago Glenn T. broke something foot/ankle/? on that rock.
Shela runs 4xpaws; she didn't even notice the log and did a 180 on it just to show off. Getting her across the waist/chest high Mineral Creek was a lot harder. It took 3 tries on the first crossing and I cut her nails when we got home, Ouch.
Wow, I was scared and I wasn't even there! I hate, hate, hate log crossings. I want to crawl when I get to them. I bet you guys had fun anyway!
This is what I DON'T want to know about!!!
Very glad that Tony is okay.
(mumbling) stupid, crazy, people going off in the middle of the night, in the mountains...
I am glad your video was so dark since tc's fall would have probably looked even worse in the light! Glad to hear he is still running strong. Sounds like a great day in the woods.
