This was a very challenging trail and everyone did great




John Bull was enough for the day so we drive to the next camp site - Tanglewood Group Camp

Only one shot for Honey was enough for a great night - Thanks to Alex, Steve, Brenda and Caroline, we had good dinner for the second night


Day 3
Beautiful Morning - Back on the trail

Jacoby Canyon


Almost done. Viscera Spring Road, 2341, 2340 and 2330.





Frank and Mike decided to take everyone down in reverse to make it easy on everyone - While Frank was spotting everyone down, Brenda and I went to the Hwy to get gas just in case

End of the trail. we completed 106 Miles - It was the perfect end to 3 days

Expedition 2.1 completed


Thank you everyone for making this a amazing and memorable trip. we couldn't have done it with everyone contribution. We will make this an annual events for others to experience.

WOO! What a great weekend! I agree with Thorny, I don't know if the trail or the campsite was more fun! Great stories and memories!

No way I could have made it through this whole 105 mile trek without the help of Frank, Brenda, Ray, Mike, Steve and all the others that helped spot me through. You guys really rock. The fact that everyone made it though with no damage is a true showing af your knowledge. A big thanks to you all for your patience with me and all the help you guys gave me! Thanks to Alex and Steve for the great food Saturday night and this morning and to Rand for the tacos on Friday.

I had such a great time and met an incredible group of people. It was great getting to know you guys and gals. Haha expedition 2.1. Lets get to work on that name change Taher. Thanks again for getting this all set up! And a special thanks to Caroline's Jeep for stalling and making me soo nervous and to Caroline for reminding me to breath! Still got that Xanax? And lastly to my little Jeep for doing so well, never ceases to impress

I'll be posting up pics on Tuesday, got work tomorrow. Great times indeed, can't wait to do it again!

Great pictures Jose! Thanks for posting

 

Had a great time. Thank you Taher for setting this up. Everything went so smoothly it really was an accomplishment--the stock or near stock JKers should be really proud of themselves The food and contributions from everyone (Rand, Taher, Alex, Tim...just to name a few) with cooking made the camp meals super enjoyable. Even the weather was perfect (well it did get a little cold on Saturday night but can't complain really).

I'll get some pics up hopefully tonite (slammed at work here today). In the meantime there are some pics that were put on the original run thread here

Wish you guys could have joined in on the fun...it was pretty cool to go something like 102 miles off road with only 3 miles of on-road to connect a couple of the trails!

 

Turn my back for one second and see what happens I do have to applaud you for giving the toughest line a try!

I didn't see this look on your face after the second waterfall at Dishpan Just kidding Ray it was great wheeling and partying with you...hope you made it to your daughters dinner party in time!

 

Dang Ray that looks close... Looks like a fun time though
