i didnt kno about a sunday miller run. but i would b willing to go for it. ill chat with the yj thats rolling up with me and maybe he'll b up for it too. i wanted to head up there about 9 but we'll c how things go

[Sandy R]

So you're definite for Sunday am? Where will you be at 9am? Trailhead, Flying J or leaving home? I'm looking to nail down a definite meeting place and time.

EDIT:
OK, I'm leaving for the day so lets get this nailed down now in the event anybody wants to run with us. Lets be ready to leave Flying J for the trail at 8:30am so you can decide what time you need to be there to gas up, buy groceries, ice, waters, whatever or nothing.

I-5 to Frazier Mountain Park Road exit. Flying J is just west of I-5 (big visible sign).

I'll be in my '95 white Grand Cherokee and my buddy in his Wrangler. My cell (if we get service) is 323-855-3507.

Good clean fun today, was nice meeting everyone that came out. Except for some guy in a black yj getting hung up trying bonus lines, everyone made it easy.

Lockwood Miller Jeep Trail

We had four Jeeps on the Sunday Lockwood-Miller Jeep Trail Run. Here are some pictures at the air down point:

Sandy's (SandyR) ZJ:



Sergio's YJ:



Matt's (lakev2) YJ:



The weather was perfect. It was sunny, the temperature was in the 70s and the wind was light. We left the air down point at about 9:30 am. Sandy and Sergio are climbing the first hill. Sergio had a bit of difficulty because his air activated front axle wouldn't engage. He fixed the problem (a check valve) and continued without any more trouble:



The "squeeze" is now wide enough that a Hummer could fit through:



The view of Lockwood Valley from the Miller Jeep Trail:



The Miller Jeep Trail is about as rough as ever:



We reached Dutchman Campground at about 1:00 pm and stopped for lunch. During the climb up Miller, the mounting plate that connected Sergio's transfer case to his skid came loose. After lunch, he found a nut and bolt that would fit, and reconnected it.

This was the first time I ran the trail this year and it was the fastest that I have ever run the trail. It seemed to be easier than I remember, but I suspect that the lift and bigger tires (33s) that I installed over the winter had a lot to do with it.
