Okay... let's put it to rest. AJ did not almost roll his Jeep. LOL... if you don't have pics it didn't happen. Seriously, I was wobbling on two wheels for a few seconds as my rear end got away from me because of a bad line I took. But hey... it's all in a day on the trail.
As for the location of the incident, I can't tell by the pic above, but it kinda looks like it, but with more ruts and rocks. If you look in the Wells book, the spot is described as a tough spot at 5.5 miles, waypoint 03 where the road curves downhill to the right into a ravine.
Of course a trip report wouldn't be complete without mentioning carnage. All I'll say without mentioning names is... someone put a nice gash in his new black teflon coated left front wheel, and it wasn't me....
Thanks Rex, Blake and Brooklyn for coming out today with me and Beth. And you're right, we need to do this again with more people. In fact I was telling Silverdiesel about the trail tonight at the club meeting, so now he wants to run it. We're going to meet up this coming Friday... Jan 15 for breakfast and then head over to the Mesa Ranger station to get his permit. Then we're heading over to the West gate and run the trail. I'll make a seperate post, but anyone that's off next Friday that wants to join in is more than welcome to. We should be at the trail head right at 0900.
I did't get too many pics today, and no real action shots, but here are a couple of Rex with his new lift and one of Blake and his little sister, Brooklyn....
