and GeoCraig, with skinny bones behind the camera
On Saturday, November 21, 2009, the GeoConnection took on Matilija Canyon. We met at 6:30 AM at Matilija Road Pullout to set up the car bridge. We left 2 cars at the end of the trail–Gatekeeper Awakens–then drove the 30+ miles north on 33 to start the geo-adventure at Stovepipe. Seemed like a very long drive to hike 8 miles back to the cars.
