My Brother and his wife came to Texas for a visit, so we took them out to Barnwell for a day of wheeling. Needless to say, they had an awesome time. I told them I wasn't going to drive all day long, it was all them. They both did great for their first time on the trails. By the end they were joking about how they now need a Jeep.

This was me spotting for my Brother, then running for my life.



All smiles



Some decent flex.













My sister-in-law conquering the trails.



Oh yeah, we also used my winch for the first time. The JK just needed a tiny little pull up a muddy embankment - the winch worked well.

Barnwell is such an awsome place. I have only been once but am dying to get back. Just got to find the time to make it. Looks like yall had a blast. You didn't by any chance see a Rescue Green 4dr with a Bayou Jeepers sticker on it? LimeLizard from the South sections was supposed to go with his wife and preacher.

When we pulled up there was a resuce green 4-door - we chatted a little bit about tires and wheels. I didn't notice a Bayou Jeepers sticker, but it was the only rescue green 4-door I saw all day. He mentioned that they were going to wheel in somebody else's TJ for most of the day 'cause he didn't want to mess up his 2 week old JK - could that be your friend? I think he said he had his lift on, but was still looking for tires. He was a nice guy either way.

Yeah that was him. I can't remember is name though. He is one of the leadership guys with the Bayou Jeepers here in NW LA. That is his wife's JK. What an awsome place. Did either one of yall mention the forum? What a small world.

Oh cool. It's funny you ask that, because the forum didn't come up at all, but as I drove away I thought to myself "I should have told about the forum in case he was brand new to the JK world" - turns out he is not brand new to it, but I should have brought it up anyway. I'll maybe shoot him a pm and say hi. Thanks. Cheers.
