So my day got even more interesting after we left CC. I stopped at a gas station in Alpine to put some air in my tires. While I was airing up the passanger side, I could see that a car had pulled up behind me, but I couldn't see the car... just the lights. I just assumed someone was waiting for the air. A moment later, I feel the whole jeep rock like someone bumped it. Then I felt it again... so, I pop up real fast to see who the hell was messing with my car, and I see a cop walking around the back, toward the passanger side where I was. I don't think he knew I was there, because his eyes got real big and he drew his gun and pointed it at me.. yelling at me to show my hands.
So, he gets me up against the jeep and pat searches me...then cuffs me and stuffs me.
Turns out, a black XJ was ripped off from Alpine and was last seen heading West on 8. Cop ran my plates and cut me loose a few minutes later. But, it was pretty freaky being on the wrong end of a gun... nice way to top off good day.
Anyway... good to meet you all. Glad to hear you made it home ok. Thanks for the pics. I'll post up mine tomorrow if I have any interesting ones.
