The wave w/ all the comforts. We went classic out-and-back from wire pass before heat builds starting at 6:25 am. Clear sky made timing simple and kept visibility high. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow w/ track lines. Overall 4/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 4/5. Short version: break in boots at home. Still thinking ~ this one.
