[QUOTE="robd, post: 30437, member: 138"] I first ran into that drop a few years back at a pigfest with Agent2 in Goler. I decided to go for one last quick solo ride before the day ended. Started at the airstrip and found a path up the east ridge of the mountains directly over the airstrip. At this point I figured :thinking: I would make it a loop, finding my way to Goler Gulch and then South back to the truck. The sun was now behind the mountains to the West and it was quickly getting dimmer. I found this little drop (above) going towards the Gulch. I was thinking to myself, "don't go down anything you can't go back up." I went down the small drop only to find that 12' drop :shocked:. Panic mode started to set in. I didn't have a headlight. "What if they are all like this?" I quickly turned around and start racing North to find an easier way into the Gulch before the lights went out. I found dead end after dead end or rather I didn't find anything that I thought I could back track easily. Finally I found a section where the Gulch was in sight though without a trail and fairly steep with not such a great transition to the floor. I ended up walking/tumbling down with the bike. But I was in the wash! I raced South through the Gulch making the camp right at dusk and avoiding an epic. :ride: [/QUOTE]
