You talked the wife into coming, Gari? That\'s stupendous!
I\'ve got some dry scrap lumber I\'ll bring for the camp fire. Should be at least one night\'s worth.

What are the restrictions on moving firewood? Lumber ok but no chopped stuff? I can bring some as well, and I\'ve got some kick ass dinner plans one night that everyone can get in on as long as we\'ve got a fire.

Good trip in spite of the breakage. 3 firsts - Jared driving at RC, Elliot (my son) driving at RC, and Melissa (Gary\'s wife) camping/riding at RC.
I had hauler brake line issues, mikemike split a tow rig high-pressure fuel line and had Dakota rear shaft issues, Ryan had cooling issues with his buggy radiator, Jared tweaked his Rubicon tie rod, and I spit a front u-joint cap.
Trip home uneventful, got passed by the Dump Bus (go figure...).
Thank you mikemike, Jared, and Ryan for all your help! I owe you a big bottle of break fluid, mikemike!

i ended up patching the buggy up friday and headed down.
it was nice to see some new people! we got caught in the rain a little Saturday afternoon but all in all a good trip.
no towrig or buggy issues for me.
Ryan had a flat on the way home.

That makes 4 out of 4 Carlisle tires that dident last more than 2 years. Swapped to a spare and was good to go.
Jared has a good price on tires, 2 more please. :-)

Me: (to Wingman) \"I can\'t believe we went down rock creek, that was insane!\"
Wingman: \"Yeah, I\'ve never been down it either.\"
Me: \"So I followed you in there just as blindly?!?!?!?\"
I must be a dummy...or didn\'t learn my lesson about following mikemike, or his advice :-D
Great trip, and thanks to all who helped me out spotting, fixing and giving advice. Mikemike bled, Wingmans hi-lift jack handle put it\'s life on the line as a tie-rod sleeve and smike caught some good nap time by the fire!
