I did the rock garden in January, it was very nerve racking the first, and I'm sure the second time.....I had great spotters so that made all the difference.

We will have to do the hole loop when RubiJK can join us, he knows the trail very well.

It will be my 3 kids and I.....do you want to meet up in Fountain Hills, and then travel up to Sunflower?

RubiJK is a great spotter so his help is probably best for the rock garden. This is my familys first jeep outing so i should take it easy on them. Im about 30 minutes from Fountain Hills, were gonna gas up and grab some sandwiches there. Do you have the AZ directory Josh emailed everyone?

Some pics (from Brian):

Here you can see the end of the Boulder Garden and Shale rock.....just at the top of the hill is the 3 mines:


Old cart tracks coming out of mines........the first 2 mines are just on the left of our Jeeps, the drop down mine is to the right of our Jeeps:


This was the longer of the first two mine shafts, it was a little wet going in:


Flex looks Awesome.......the brake line looks likes it's about to BREAK!
