Default San Marcos Run

If any of you in So Cal have not been out to San Marcos, you should make the trip. There is plenty of fun to be had by all jeeps stock to heavily modified.

Here are a couple climbs that you will find out there.
Video doesn't quite capture how steep the rock are, but you will get the idea.

I really don't recommend going alone, not that you would. Just sayin... If someone were to have to leave a rig unattended up there, I don't know if they would come back to much. Although I do have an amazing story from a trip up there, that shows there is still some human decency in the world...

You also may lose your muffler and may need help getting it back on.
