Nobody left without some damage this weekend. Broken birfields, broken drive shafts, ripped apart tires, spilled ice cubes, torn up wiring, etc. But there is some redemption in here, Jinxspot found his missing mudflap, plus some. If you are shopping for some mudflaps, this is a good trail to run. 
I arrived late on Saturday, because I had to repair the damage from the previous weekend still. I have been working late, and Six States closes a bit too early for me. I trashed a stub shaft driving with a missing bearing cap, but I suspected this might be the result. Entirely my fault there, no doubt.
Once I found the right parking area I met up with Jinxspot and ahhh... I forgot Bob's username. We made an early, short trip up Rattlesnake before coming back to meet up with two others whose usernames I have also forgotten.
Once all together, we made some dust fly as we motored up to certain death for Jeep parts, Constrictor.
On the way, we stopped at the "Jeep Mine" to have a peek at the Willys at the bottom. The air shaft is slowly filling in, no doubt helped along by people dropping rocks on the Jeep. In case you are unfamiliar with the legend, here is a video of a few folks rappelling down to the Jeep.

Nobody drove into any mine or air shafts this weekend that we know of.
Even still, carnage was quick, as Bob ran over something wicked sharp that tore a hole large enough to stick your arm in the hole. Lessons learned: if in doubt, scout it out. Always good to have a look at what you are driving on. We took a few minutes to help change out a tire, took care of a few other items that needed attention, and we were off again.
Onward!
Some of these might be out of order, I mess up sometimes.
Oh, heck with it, here is a bunch of pictures, no particular order, less explanation. I am tired. :greg:
Jinxspot recovers his lost mudflap
Everyone took the line up the waterfall, despite some tenacious efforts.
Wayne's world, I didn't make it up, it was just too slick for my little 33" tires, but everyone else walked up it. Well, maybe "walked" is the wrong word. More like flailed. Sometime I may also flail up it, we shall see.
We used a Jeep dashboard screw to repair this Warn. Later, I discovered that it was the sole screw holding my fuse panel in, but I guess the glove box can do that job now. Ha ha! A tree limb ripped apart the speed sensor wiring to my transfer case on Saturday, but I didn't really notice until Sunday. It took a bit of troubleshooting to discover why the Jeep wouldn't run any longer, reported there was no fuel, and that the chipped key was not recognized. Shorting wires do funny things.
At the end of the day, we loaded up some wood onto my Jeep, as penance and used it as the wood bin.
There should be some more photos from others, I saw some cameras come out on occasion.
