I was last in line of 25 rigs. It was chewed up. The BLM officers who were watching wouldn't let us stack rocks.

The bigger ledges I crawled. The smaller ones I crawled then rolled through.

Fandango. I'll be around. Look me up.

No movie, but here is a slide series. There is a safety line on the front. Notice the guys cheering at the end.

Thx. You guys are lucky to have a great wheeling area nearby. You are right, there are a lot of moderate trails, as well as ones DD's can do. I enjoyed driving through the arroyo's (sp?) as well as the Mesa's. We also met a lot of really cool local people from the 4x4 community. Really great folk. They went so out of there way to help us and all the others. We really appreciated it. I look forward to getting back.

The event was really well organized. The fee was more than $100, but I don't recall since it was paid so long ago. It was really cool to see all the crazy rigs out there. Didn't see another JK until day 3.

We met a lot of great people. I bet some get JK's. Many were surprised by what mine can do.
