It has been months since we last got a chance to wheel with our good friend fish and after getting word that he was finally gonna have Sunday off, we decided that it was time to clear the schedule and get a run going. And, even though we annoucned this run on Thrusday, we were still able to get as many as 13 JK's to come out to play. Best part of all, in addition to seeing some old friends again, we also got a chance to meet some new faces and make new friends. Anyway, here are some pics from our trip....

Meeting up at Bravo Burger....

On our way to the next rock garden, the muffler on mm4x4's JK breaks its weld and starts dragging on the trail. Here we are pulling it off completely so that he doesn't have to drag it all the way home....

The kids getting into the off roading spirit and helping out....




After leaving the trail, we decided to head down to Apple Valley to have some dinner at one of our favorite Italian Restaurants, Mama Carpinos. Along the way, we came across some water filled dry lakes and they were stunning to see at sunset....










As you can imagine, I had to pick and choose what pics to post here and there are a ton more that we took. If you'd like to see them now, all you have to do is click on the link below:
