The honest-to-truth maiden voyage of Deanweed’s flipped Gunnar. I’m in Fruita one week and NoDak the next. It will never happen again. My sister, Marian, thinks soloing out here is foolish. Perhaps, it is. Six mountain lions were shot in the area last fall. In June of 2005 a cougar shadowed two cyclists for 45 minutes on this trail section. What would you do? Solo and risk being lunch? Solo and see some of the best scenery the planet has to offer?
