Hi Jason,
Here is what Sean said, "So to my knowledge Stork Curve has always been a special occasion trip.
We used to run to Devils Tail on a daily basis in 2.5 hours, but when it became clear that was beating things up faster than we could maintain we scaled the trip back to mp142 (just past the water tower at French Gulch in the same 2.5 hour trip.
We are planning on doing the 1st Stork excursions, since 2017, this coming summer though"
