Today was an awesome day in the High Desert! We had a total of 18 rigs that met in various locations for the Rockets Launch event on the Lucerne Dry Lake and the after run to Rattlesnake Canyon. I'm sure that I'll miss someone here: Chuck (dirtman13) Max and baby Lila (max7), Scott (dezertdog), Scott and Lesa (AVjeepfreek), Clay (TJClay), Roger, Mary and grandson(Skittles), Ron and Dawn and baby Eathan
(jeep4cern), Jack and wife (ECHO), Brian Nash (EVCJeep), Brian's friend Paul (in a full size 4x4Dodge), My friend Chris's dad Richard and mom
(06'TJ), their friend Richard and his wife (pickup), Kirk (blueXJ), and Mitch (great88). We watched dozens of rocket launches till 10:30am and then those that wanted to run Rattlesnake Canyon left for the trailhead. At the trailhead off Hwy 247 we all aired down, had a quick drivers meeting and hit the trail.
We had an easy start and soon found the scattered free range cattle and calves. I missed the Brama Bull while looking at the cattle. We soon for the extra credit rock gardens and those who wanted played while others watched and took pictures. Chuck, Brian, and Max did some entertaining and Chuck inverted his rear "Boomarang" shakle. We took several breaks in between the play spots and then at the last area Ron got alittle heavy on the skinney pedal and broke something in the stock rear D35. Everyone pitched in trying to figure out the problem trailside and we guessed it was the rear carrier or ring and pinion. After confirming that Ron had a Non C Clip we were able to carefully procede to Hwy 18 via 2N02 and 3N03.
Ron was able to drive home, slowly and carefull. Everyone seemed to have fun, People, Dogs, and Kids!
Thanks to all that showed up for this fun run.

Two gears were toast.
