Fun trail ride last night. We met up with the Cardall clan after following the nice signs they placed for us. We did the campfire gig to warm up. Few of us had to get back early Saturday morning for various things so we decided to head up Mary Ellen late last night.

Great trail, very pretty, not too hard but lots of fun...

Feared myself dead after a mine begain collapsing...

Cold drive home in the 40 at 4 am... :D

I'm sure you'll hear the rest from those that did it in the day...

is a flop fest where we all grab jeff by the arms and leggs and toss him into the lake in bellyflop fashion? Because, if it is, include me in the flop fest next time!!!!!! Saturday was great, for once we didnt break a rig! tried to kill the samurai and heated up the clutch really good. Too bad we didnt have laundry line clips for everyones nose after i was done :) Chris was heating up his clutch pretty good at the rock garden too! guess we both be contacting glen for some 6.1's soon :) SOMEONE POST THE PICS!!!

Forest Lake

We had an AWESOME time. it was a tad bit chilly especially after getting wet that night, but a good breakfast and plenty of mud more than made up for it :D i got homesick hitting that mud. and i'm still sick of my t-case ;)

The pregnant rollerskate does need a SAS...however, we measured that rock and it was a 30" tall rock....I did have all 4 tires on the ground until i got outta the truck. As soon as I got out, the front driverside spring decided it was gonna decompress and lift everything else up with it :eek: it was really funny when i got out of the car and all of the suden the thing lifted up and started tipping. problem is I'm running springs built for a 4dr w/ a V6 engine and i'm 2dr with an itty bitty 4banger, so they are EXTREMELY stiff and it takes a good ammount of weight in the truck to get them to compress.....but hey, all and all, even with lifting the front right a few inches, 30" with IFS isnt bad at all!!!!!! Didnt take her throught the rock garden this week like I did last week, my cb radio mount was coming out and it was about to fall on my head :mad: and decided to not try and take our stock suspension sammy through the garden because we heated up the clutch pretty good getting intall the way into the rock garden and partially into it. GREAT TRIP!!! all who didnt go really missed out.

Sorry wasn't able to stay for the rock garden again. Running twice last night was good for me, lets just hope the TJ stays together for the 1200 mile road trip. Anyway thanks for breakfast and it was a blast. Can't wait to do it again.
