Fishlake NF - Tushar Mountains Area BP - 4th of July weekend

If anybody in the area wants to join in, I'm doing a 3 day, 150 mile route through the Fishlake NF over the 4th of July weekend (Fri-Sun). Plan on doing 55/55/40 on the mileage. Water should not be a problem along the route. Looking to just take my hardtail outfitted with big, bouncy tires, do the miles, enjoy the scenery and relax in the evening with lots of Captain and Coke!
The route is a little pavement, then essentially all Forest Roads after that. Could possibly do the trail around Fish Lake, maybe, but...Just want to explore the area and check out the area above where the Dixie 311 stops. And this stuff is actually rideable! I've actually got a lot of routes and segments through the Fishlake that can make anything from a 100 - 500 mile loop and just want to start getting up there to explore and map it!
Probably be going back up in mid-August and doing a route (or possibly just hoofing it and backpack) through the big, actual Tushar peaks. May likely do a little drive towards Big John Flat and Baldy Peak on way back home, just to get a peak of what awaits six weeks or so down the road.
I've got both a gpx and kml file of the route attached. Different start/end point than what is on these files, but you see the overall route. Camping will be up high with first a view to the East, then a view to the West.
I'll be leaving Vegas around 5am on Friday and should get to the start point by 9am.
Anyone interested, let me know.

How did this trip go and do you have a trip report somewhere? That area is of interest to do at some point. Thanks!
