Thanks Dave. Next time.

Well I went, but had to bail because the XJ kept dying on me. Of course it happen just as the main group went down "The Bitch Trail" and I stuck to the medium trail. Just as well because I wouldn't have wanted to be the hold up on the trail. At least I was able to make it home with out too much trouble.

I couldn't raise anyone on the CB so I called Tom who called Jes's cell phone and left a message. Don't want anyone thinking I was lost.

It was great to see everyone again.

Had a great time. My little girl did great, with just a little fuss when she waited forever for Nick to get out while our Jeep was at a 45 degree angle. I snapped a few shots:

Great trip.

Good to finally meet a few people, and good to make better friends out of people I already knew!

8 Rigs (as far as my count) were there, and other than a few tires, no real damage...

Other than a little self inflicted body damage, my jeep came out un-scathed - and I cant hope for better than that!

My pictures will be uploaded... sometime...

 

[Starboard M]

Opie, someone stole half your bumper:shhh:



Looks like a fun trip. Wish I could have gone.

Roof Rack:

 

[Letterman]

Found a baby Snake as we walked back to see what happened to the rest of the group:

Then we found Nick and Gus stuck, popped a side wall and lost a bead, so we had to drive back down around and tie off to one another:

Then we snach blocked off a tree to hold the jeep:

No longer working, Gus went on to talk about how Nick and Gus were NOT 2 different people:

I went to work with Opie holding the back end up:

After trying 2 different rachet straps we got out the break parts cleaner and lit a fire:

Winched Nick out and Gus drove home.

Uppon our arrival, we found that Nick had already gotten stuck before we got there. LuvdaXJ gave him the tug that he needed to get off the logs -

Mark decided to run Squeze rock and let the guy taking pictures for the park map shoot a few shots of him -

Letterman made friends with a fish -

BC Helped Niki take her top off -

Nick and Gus got jacked pretty good here.... for a few hours -

I took a poser shot of my rig as i waited and heckled -

Walked back to see what was up with White Rhino and friends... A ranger was definately on its side...

Captn Nemo played Dad for the day -

walked back up - Nick hadnt really moved...

Yay!

Someone was going to die by Hi-lift with all the weird angles we had to use to get Nicks junk un-jacked -

 

[XJ_ranger]

after free-ing nick from the need to explain why all his parts were in a box in the garage and not on his jeep (Lockers, Gears, Beadlocks, Winch, Axles...) we ate lunch.

Stoney Ford decided to run the creek trail thing...

Letterman did it too -

Niki on white rock -

Great day out. To top it off we got to heckle Nick and Gus for 3 hours while trying to get him off the trail. :confused1

I only took a few pics, even though I was just a passenger for the day.

Just a couple of shots that I got along the way.

Great day out on the trail. :yelclap:
