BLM is going to put up another gate on the Bump 'n' Grind. Lets see how long this one lasts!

Seems like that Konno guy ought to go apply at the DWA.

There was an interesting quote by one of the hikers, though. She said the Bump N Grind was a spiritual experience. Anyone here have spiritual revelations on the Bump N Grind? Just askin'.

Ok, I do that one a few times a month, and I start behind Target, first of all, there's no dump trucks up there, lol, so i totally dont get that part of the article about a guy getting hit by one...., and theres like 3 or 4 ways/ lil trails to the top, plus the big dirt road one...so.... are they gating off ALL routs to the top?? or just the dirt "road" ??

I think that was just COD that you saw Jim.... God is over on the other, south facing side.

Torrey, there are still post left up there from when they were doing the gate thing last year and the year before. They are on the road about 2/3 up where the east facing trail ( coronary ridge ) comes into the road.

The Bump.....spiritual !?..... somebody spends too much time in the mall.

I was following a gal in some very tight shorts once and I thought, Oh my God! I was grateful for the majesty of His creation.

Oh wait. Maybe that was a carnal revelation, not a spiritual one.

I definitely spend way too much time in the mall Steve, btw does anyone remember when they used to set "COD" on fire for football games back in the 60s? I don't know about getting spiritual on the BNG, but yesterday I hiked to the bottom of the grand canyon & ...uh, still nothing.

LOL, you must be talking about the 2nd one from the right?
