I'll have one seat empty, but I'm not going too hard core. I'll have the girls with me, but they'll be in the back.

well, it started out a great morning and we made record time getting to hale mtn. Turns out i'm only 60 miles from the park. High2by was riding shotgun. We get there by 7:30am so we head to the top to meet up with rredalty, tiff, byron, mike. We ride the waterfall trail.....awesome since it is so dry. Great traction.
We get to the top to find cottontail so we head to the lower creekbed. Almost ready to start and my brake pedal goes to the floor. No brakes. Broke the hard line to the drivers front. Game over for me. Went back to the top and crimped the line and drove home. We did eat lunch but waited till 12:45pm before leaving, hoping to see others before we left.
Jeep is fixed and ready to go now.

I didn't ride much at all, maybe only an hour all told, but it was enough to shake out my steering issues. I was pretty pleased running the riverbed. Being at 5 inches with the drop brackets, the locker, and the SYE made a huge difference. I crawled it like nothing. So nice!
After lunch we decided to head to Ed's to work on his brakes and my steering. I didn't mind not spending a full day on the trail. Hanging out riding and working on Jeeps is a great way to spend a Saturday. And thanks to "Ed and Mark's Auto Part Emporium" I was able to source a couple pieces that I needed before the crawl...so my "to do" list will shorten soon.
