Whetstone doesn't get a lot of love, not only because it's a big, hairy monster, but also because it's a long way to drive just to use a brusher. And it's certainly an adventure with a loaded bob trailer.
one of the few times the trailer and bike remained upright
Casualties:
Brusher Blade #1
2 tanks of gas
100% necessary small bob trailer dropout clip
Bent Heckler dropout
On the plus side, we got some work done. I wouldn't call it fully pimped trail, but it's somewhere between open and buff (as buff as Whetstone could ever be) on the Universal Scale of Trail Conditions. For those of you who don't make it down that way much (that is, everyone I know) it's really worth the drive for something different.
Of note, the Shade Pig did get to see two furry creatures which he could not identify, which might mean he just isn't good with local fauna identication, or it might mean he saw something remarkable. He says they "loped" away when they saw him. Interesting. We have no photographic or video representation.
I do have this video, however, which is probably way better than whatever grainy/hazy video The Shade Pig/Fox Mulder might have taken anyway.
