Took wife and kid out on first "offroad" journey. Thats why I got a jeep anyway right? Anyway, Chidago Canyon is about 16 miles north of Bishop on Route 6. The offroad bit isn't anything more serious than a sandy dirt road down a canyon wash, but its definitely not pavement.
The first part was a graded gravel road to see the Chalfant Petroglyphs which were interesting but not overly exciting. Kinda weird art form from 100s of years ago.
After that we proceeded down the canyon and about halfway to the next site, the jeep overheated while running the AC and ended forward progress. Stopped to let it cool etc and then went back to the highway.
Anyway, now I'm starting to replace cooling parts because the wife insisted that she be able to go wheeling and have the AC without having things go wrong. Hopefully the next trip will be more successful.
