Secluded location, Cococino National Forest |
| the hike |
Unleash your masked rebellious nature by mirroring the path of purported scofflaws
and bootleggers to Robber’s Roost. To access, with stealth and guile we will
slink up a forest road to unmarked paths and bushwhacks towards the lair.
Should we meet other hooligans, we will disarm them with our good intent and
perhaps form an alliance.
Who knows what we may find in the depths of the mysterious retreat!
With the express intent of confounding and impressing
other aspirants, we will approach the target with even a
more unorthodox routing than in 2018. They will see us
coming, but know they cannot stop our inevitable arrival!
