Here's another shot of a badly eroded trail. Ryan is looking back at his father, Dave, who was taking this picture. Note the black pelican case sitting on the ground in the lower left of the photo. The mule drivers wouldn't tie it on the animals, and it couldn't be worn on a human's back, so it was carried by hand by it's owner, Keith, or whomever he could coerce into carrying it. It really built up forearm muscles (while simultaneously wearing out their shoulders!).
