Well this was an interesting day to say the least with it starting off raining then ending nice and sunny. We ended up having about 7 come on out today, not including a newbie straggler who tagged along 'til lunch time (why is it the cliff's always seems to scare the newbie's ) Everyone at some point needed a strap at some point and Tony's winch was put to use a few times as well (thanks again for the pull). I wish I could say we were carnage free but I suffered a little hardtop damage and Tony had a few blown beads. All in all though a very fun day and mad prop's to Matt (Machine154) for leading us today.


The Group:
Derek | Tony | Matt | Me (Kevin) | MJ | Dan | Chris


It was good to finally meet some of you guys and actually put a faces to the board names.

I'l post up some more pic's when I have a chance.

Yea Nice to meet you guys and Big time Props to Matt.He knows that place well.
Like Kevin said 2 blown tires for me thanks Jedi for the spare tire.And Matt with his knowledge of reseating the one tire while it was still on the Jeep.
Guys my powerplant compresser paid off for that one.
It was awesome to tackle that hill that Machine Climbed.What a rush that one was.
Can't wait to do it again maybe we can get some Hoosiers to cross the boarder

It was a great day of wheeling! Thanks again Matt for being our guide and showing us around. It was a great group and I have a lot of pictures that I need to sort and post. I think I have about 100lbs of mud still packed under my jeep that I'm going to need a firehose to get out!

Can't wait to do it again.
