Johnson Valley pics

[Jes]

Well once again we had a good trip down to JV and amazingly the only thing that suffered was sheet metal(especially mine ).
We started off Friday morning with Jack(Goatman's dad) leading us to some short little trail that "should take us 45 minutes or so" . Jack is a master of understatement! It took Andy, Gary, and I a good 4 hours to complete what we later found out was called Gate Keeper, about 300 yards of trail, a couple waterfalls and boulder fields with a nice 4PSI sand hill climb at the end. After dinner we aired up(yes, aired up) and went to run Lower Big Johnson which was really easy compared to the morning's winchathon.
Saturday morning we ran Wreckingball which took some sheet metal and most of the day to complete. Then after dinner Richard, Andy, and I ran Sledgehammer. Gary was going to run it with us but cut a tire right at the begining. The rest of us had a nice clean run through Sledge and it took us about an hour and a half to complete in the dark.
On to the pics...
Andy, OWNED!!!

Ya, I'm really bummed about it. That was a totally stupid, bone head maneuver.
I'll be getting some steel ASAP to cover it up.

Nice pics Jes!

It was a great trip, too bad my doors didn't think so! I got a "Ding King" today though I am sure it will fix all of them

Thankfully Andys tailight eliminator kit saved my taillights though!

It looks like I need to install a door eliminator kit though

Hey Jes wheres the pic of you winching yourself off of me in that last notch before sand hill, c'mon it was my only moment of glory



hmm now for new tires, 35s sound good but hmm 37s, no dang it be responsible!

Who did I pass Thursday about 2pm just south of Stockton on I-5? CRASH and GaryE. ?

I waved to someone right around Tracy, I was northbound and a green XJ was headed south. It was about 5:30, though.
