Amber had a blast driving the RAT. Another one has been assimilated... I brought my camera and didn't take one stinking picture. I should be hung by the thumbs. Thanks to all who did take pics. Great time again as always. Super turn out too. Thanks Sarah.

I forgive you since you spent so much time helping me get my grocery mobile up gatekeeper.

What a few great days hanging out with friends. Got to see folks I have not seen in awhile. Thanks for the company.
The Jeep worked great all weekend. I now need a front locker (wrapped in bacon of course) so I can keep my tires on the ground at that waterfall on Doran. Lifted all the tires on the Thursday night run as well.
Now that the jeep is fixed I have no excuse to not wheel more this year.

Bacon wrapped Jalapenos for the win.

What a great weekend damage and all. It was great to get out and see everyone again. I'm not eating for a month after this one(except Oreo's). I think I took one picture all weekend. Did get some video of Gatekeeper but that's about it.

Wow. What a weekend!

Thank you all for making Jordan feel so very welcome her first weekend out with us! She is so very excited about her future

From such humble beginnings, this non event has turned into ummm...a huge non event

Great time...it was nice to drive my little girly Jeep again. The last few times Ive been over Doran and Odessa It was as a passenger with my daughter or Chris driving

Now to see if anyone got any pictures...

@oreo *drooool*

I don't think anyone has mentioned that it rained Saturday night! I've never in 8 years seen rain in Calico while camping. Kinda crazy. Thanks Tam for the roof on our heads

I was thinking about doing this when I was here, but wasn't sure if I would be able to make the sharp turn to get back onto the trail after getting up the hill. (if I would high center, and if I could make the turn) Is it possible? or did you back down from this?

You can easily make it up that wall Daniel. Our jeeps are similar in lift and tire size. I was out there the weekend prior to IDTT, and I climbed it without any problems. Art's instructions are just how I climbed it. Don't be afraid to climb the wall a bit, before you turn, and you'll make it.

Nice photos guys! It was great to see all of you and spend some time together. The trail was fun, though it was hungry for steering boxes this year.
I'm ready to hit it again!

I finally finished going thru all the pix and vids, the one with Chuck driving over the camera is really cool.

It's funny. I swore that break happened at the last climb. I didn't even notice till I was at the top. I bet it was the middle V notch.

Holy Crap! That was broken before you got to the top. No one saw it. What a trip.
