Euchre Bar Massacre - '19
This was quite the event. And the first FatAss event I finished, and won.
I was quite disorganized as I had just moved to Ashland, and was making a quick trip down from Ashland and was planning to stop by Pahatsi to grab a few things and clean the house. As a consequence, I didn't quite start on time as I was the last one to check in. And I missed the first turn and was playing catch up from the get go. Then as we descended Bowling Ball Alley, I lost my phone, my map, and some of my food... I tracked down the phone after 45 min (I had a rough GPS track of the route, so this would be my map from then on). Once I caught up to a few folks on an out an back, I thought I could catch up to them so I could continue on with company.
Then we hit SawItalian bar... which was a royal bitch. This is a 3000 ft off trail, steep cliff that is covered in poison oak and blackberries. I think this took me 4 hours and I was convinced I took the wrong route and was behind the lead crew, who I could hear every once in a while, when I was tunneling through the blackberries. Turns out I took the "best" way up and left Bueno, Scott and Loren behind. When I got to the next aid station, I figured I'd keep going as they were probably an hour behind me. So... turns out I spent 23 of the 24.5 hrs of the race running solo. Good mental training. There's pics in the strava link below.

Castle Crags
I decided to enter Euchre Bar Massacre after years of hearing about it. So I figured, I could go down with the fam to Shasta area, and check out the Railroad Resort in Dunsmuir and take off from there Sat evening. So we went down Fri, hiked around at Castle Crags, slept at the resort, and went back to Castle Crags on Sat.
