It didn't take long on 311 for my Jeep to receive a little momento. Here I am stuck while the side of my hatch makes friends with that tree on the left.

Okay, so on Sunday I gave my Jeep a rest (meow) and rode shotgun.

I forget who's rig this was, but at this point I was glad I left my Jeep back at the campground.

Swapping batteries after we determined Matt's alternator was fried. Pay particular attention to who's actually wrenching.:yelclap:

Jason takes his turn. I know someone else has an awesome shot of him coming down off the pile.

Last but not least, a shot of the group (freezing our a$$es off) before we headed back to camp.

That's all I got. What a perfect weekend for wheeling and the turnout was awesome. It was great meeting new folks and seeing the guys I had met already. I can't wait 'til next time!

I have ALL 96 photos posted to my photobucket if you want to see them all: http://s97.photobucket.com/albums/l234/Jay2000XJ/Evans%20Creek%20Oct%202006/

Looks like you guys worked out your midle finger as much as your jeeps.

Looks like fun.

Guess I just bring that out in people. We'll see if everyone else's pics show the same.

Yes, James, this is for you, for not showing. :D :D

It was worth it.:D
 
Hey, this is not the DEN.
 
I'll see what i can get.
 
Matt, Thanks for organizing another great run!! (You still owe me money but you can wait till you pay off your second mortgage with what you must owe John:laugh3: )

I had a great time. And without a specific mechanical failure we actually probably could have run all of the trails on Sunday!! I guess this gives us a good reason to try again?

I ended up with NO body damage, NO mechanical issues, and LOTS of fun (meow)!!

I learned several things: Although I still believe that Lockers are over rated. I really need them in both ends to make the next step up in challenging obstacles. I also learned that I can use my winch in aiding my own recovery instead of others:).

Thanks to everyone for a wonderful trip. It was great to meet several others who I had not met before.

LET IT SNOW!!

Michael
