Good to hear everyone is okay. Thanks for the clarification.

 

The granite slabs at the beginning of the trail. Just amazing! That's Ralph taking pic's.


Something going on with Peter's Jeep. This won't be the last time you see Mike under a Jeep.


Moving right along.


Andrew taking on an optional obstacle. And conquering.


Peter and copilot Martin


Tracy, is that you?


Love the ferns


I want this lily pond in my back yard. Oh, and the Sierras too.


Pretty flowers

 

Men..... ... (Notice the built-in table and bar! This is a really cool camp spot!)


Good morning Scott! Yes, that's his mugg... on his coffee mug... (don't worry, he got a lot of shit for it).


Damn helicopter...... kept disturbing our glorious mountain peace


Ralph pointed this out. There's a big ring around the sun. Ever seen this?? I've seen plenty of rings around the moon, but never around the sun. Some of us were kind of expecting armageddon


Got wood?


Jeep parking lot


Brenda kickin' back


Martin and Peter enjoying lunch (MRE's that sound really yummy) and Ralph enjoying good company.


Anne is really organized. I want one of these!


More Jeep parking. This is a great spot. As you enter the Buck Island Lake area from the Loon Lake side it's on the right. Lots of space for a big group. We were really fortunate to nab this area! It's first come, first served!!!

 

Caroline:
Great pictures nice to put a name to faces.

 

Thanks 33, I agree! And I'll be posting more pics this evening too

 

Great pics Caroline...I need to get busy and post of some of mine. Sometimes I ask myself why I take so many damn pictures...it makes it hard to do anything with them. I'll try to do some at lunch

 

I agree, great pics!

I'm bummed to see what I 'missed out' on... I am very envious of what appears to be an epic trip.



I've been to many places like the Rubicon, Moab, ect and I rarely get 'poser' shots cuz I'm driving and we just don't take the time for pics or I'm too lazy to dig out the camera for a photo op...

 

Ditto Brenda. I took almost 400. It's ridiculous, and hard to choose which ones to delete. I think someone else (Tom maybe?) took over a thousand...

 

Looking forward to more pics!

So my jeep is at ORW to replace inner axle seal, got an extended warranty. I was happy that it's covered but now it looks like more damage than anticipated,

Bent Tie Rod
Bent Drag Link
Axle tubes caked with mud, no one told me once you sleeve you can't put on outer seals. Got to figure a way to get outer seals this time.

Not sure if Rubicon is responsible for all this but now she's going to get upgraded. Amazing jeep brought me home smoothly. Guess I'll be driving my old RV to work for another day. The experience is still worth the carnage.

 

Peter, maybe you shouldn't attend the BBQ on Sat (6/29) OR you should leave your wallet at home
