Trip Introduction:
There are friends and then there’s the rare type of friend who even when it's been years since you’ve seen each other, it’s like no time has passed. These friends make great adventure partners! Jeff and spent five days exploring a corner of the BW that I've never been to, but have wanted to see for about a decade now, including places like Ribbon Rock, Thunder Point and search a for prehistoric rock quarries.
