We're going to cross the entire Backbone Trail in the Santa Monica Mountains, starting at Point Mugu, and ending at Will Rogers State Park. About 70 miles total.
Here's the breakdown:
Saturday:
Start at Pt. Mugu, run about 17 miles.
Pick up mountain bikes at Yerba Buena crossing, bike about 30 miles.
Camp at Malibu Creek State Park.
Sunday:
Run about 13 miles to Topanga State Park.
Pick up mountain bikes, bike about 10 miles to Will Rogers State Park.
Sunday Afternoon:
Rejoice.
Current concerns:
- Becoming a frozen Erincicle Saturday night.
- Mountain lions.
- Becoming a frozen Erincicle Saturday and Sunday mornings.
...I mean...who's on American Idol?
Check back next week for a full Backbone Trail report so you can successfully stage your own crossing. The trail is not well marked in a lot of areas, so we'll all benefit from coachubby's recon...if he remembers where he's been.
