This might help you up a Silver Lake seeing you won't be driving to far

Another option is bring a bike lock with a cable and lock you doors to the fence or a pole in the dunes parking lot. Could always cover them with a blanket to keep them save. People leave all kinds of things in the parking lot.

I will be topless with doors, just took it off tonight. May eat a little dust, but like the open feeling.

I won't be driving "real" Jeep ("REAL JEEPS HAVE ZIPPERS") unless I paint a zipper on the side.

Don't forget your camera!!!

Seeing it looks like you guys like mud, we'll have to do a fall tour up by White Cloud. Here's a few pics from a tour some folks took a few years back. Lot's of mud up there, but you can go around most of it if you want. The link below shows just one of the mud holes, I saw dozens when I was up there this spring.

Great pics Rob! We had a great day with you guys, awesome group and couldn't have asked for a better day. I think I should have tried the mud pit to convince my wife of the need for better tires...I kept saying awesome the unlimited's look with bigger tires.

I will be loading up my pics here shortly and probably put the link up later this evening or tomorrow morning.


Thanks everyone!

HEY GUYS!!--I just wanted to say a H U G E !! THANK YOU!- to Sdault for showing us around yesterday. It was an amazing day for a traile ride--I could have just pitched camp and stayed all week. Absolutely beautiful!-I wanted to say that Sdault, and Tekwarren and wives were wonderful people, and that if any of you other GreatLakers get the chance-I highly recommend hooking up and wheeling a day away with them. Good people.--My son Brendan and I had a very special time yesterday bonding, and I'm glad that we got to share that with all of you.-Thank you!--Now, I know there were lots of cameras there yesterday, mine included. So, I'm working on my pics and hope to have them up pretty soon!--WE MUST DO THIS AGAIN SOON. GREAT CROWD.-HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN REAL SOON
