Yeah I temporary pulled them off; rides rough and I still drive it around a bit. I put them back on when I go out.

I'm going on a campout on Friday nite and will be back on Sat Afternoon. If I'm not too tired, I'm gonna run this.

I finally got the tranny leak repaired, the oil changed, and we'll be there! (Still can't figure out what's going "thunk" in low speed turns)

We are trying to bring along another family for their first offroad trip in their rebuilt XJ. Even down to loaning them tires...

[samdog3]

As Long As You Are Loaning I Need $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Glad To See You Come

[Allen]

Just got home! Long night, but we all got home!

Sunflower was WET & MUDDY so lockers came in real handy! Some of the guys had a few problems in the wet rock garden, but with a little strapping we got passed it!

It was great to wheel at night! Them rock lights came in handy!

[SVanHerpen]

I have posted some of the photos I was able to take during the run. You can view them at my flickr site:

Sorry, didn't get a shot of everyone.

Nice to meet the face behind the call sign - KC0NNT - did try to call on the way home, but it takes too long to fill them tires with that ARB compressor. Heard you calling George, but couldn't hear George's responses.

Thanks for leading Joe. We dropped into bed and slept until 7am. Late for us!

[samdog3]

Thank,s For The Pic,s

Got Home A Little Late, Thanks All Who Came

[Wind_Danzer]

Glad you all had a good run!!! :)

how wet was it, has it been raining up that way?

[SVanHerpen]

The first part of the trail was perfectly watered (i.e. no dust at all). There was running water in the creek (not a lot), and it did make things a little more slippery than usual. After the turn and up the hill to the top, and the rest of the trail was mostly dry (including the graded bit back to the paved area.

[RandyT]

Great Run, great folks. It was nice to have another Ham radio op to chat with along the trail. I'd do it again!
