Trail Running with Explorer

Away on business this week. Upon arrival, discovered they had some great running trails up here. Didn't bring a Garmin or anything. Nonetheless, the 216750 was a great companion in the forest.



Would have been even more perfect if I had it on the orange rubber b, which arrived to my office the day I left.

Nice pics!

Wouldn't of it been cool if you got lost and had to use it as a compass?

I actually did get lost for many hours. Wound up in the wrong side of the mountain, one city over.

Had to track down a taxi to take me back to hotel.

Is that safe?? To trail run with an explorer??

Just kidding. Looks like a good time and yes, lucky there was another town on the other side.

Nice! They can withstand pretty much anything.
Next time try to test your Explorer if it's suited for the Tahoe 200 run
