It was a real good time! Blue, it was a pleasure wheeling with you!

I personally had one SCARY moment...felt like I was gonna go over (started to get sideways down a steep, loosely packed hill). Wound up straightening out no problem and being OK...but definitely got a little nervous for a sec. I think there's a stain on my drivers seat now. Should have bought those seat covers in the "for sale" section

The xterra we were with messed up his front end pretty good. He was using a lot of wheel spin at one point to get through a pretty tough uphill section with ruts and rocks and bent the hell out of his tie rod and some other steering components. BUT he was able to get through the rest of the trails (somehow) and safely made it to the staging area. His rig was SO pigeon-toed up front, I have no idea how he limped out.

The other guys were very cool...it was really nice that they let us hang with their group. The jeeps and modded toyota (cant remember which model...old 4-runner?) did extremely well on pretty much all of the terrain. They were great about spotting us and made us feel like old friends, in addition to making us feel totally welcome, even though we had just met them that morning. Much appreciated!!!

Got a little boo-boo also...rear end slid off some rocks and into a tree. Nice little dent at the top of my passenger side rear door. Oh Well...

Getting a nice check enging light now...bet the evap canister is clogged from the water crossings/mud.

Hopefully we can get some hummers together in the near future!
