Default Logandale, Nevada - 05/08/10

In honor of "Topless Day" we made a run down to the Logandale trail system just outside of Logandale, Nevada. This area is about an hour north of Las Vegas and is adjacent to Valley of Fire State Park.

The meeting spot at the Petro at Speedway.


The re-group at the Chevron in Logandale.


Victor makes the first climb at Rock Bottom.




Others waiting patiently to tackle Rock Bottom.


Scott's wife driving his TJ through the beginning of Rock Bottom.








This CJ had a little trouble crawling through here. He bounced around back and fourth a few times. I have a video I will post illustrating this.




Here's my Rubi going "commando" for topless day. The previous weekend she was all closed up and loaded with camping gear for our Arizona/Parashant trip.






Victor gets some air time.












Looks like a jeep commercial in my opinion.


The local red rock scenery. This area to the south becomes Valley of Fire State park.






Showing off my new Rock Krawler tie rod.
