Trail Report: Motino wash and some spelunkering

[aw12345]

On this near freezing morning 15 Jeeps and this pretty Jeep look alike Toyota Jeep showed up for some pretty good trail fun. Lots of fun to be had for all 2 near flops a bit of strap action. A cut tire, a broken valve stem and rim was the damage for the day. We got stuck behind some JK er's for about 1 hour which made for a nice lunch and bull shit session. After Motino wash the put abouts headed home and we ran up 2n61Y and did some mine exploring in a really cool mine. This mine had a whole bunch of bats in it and lots of offshoots and several levels. It has to be one of the coolest mines in Big Bear. All in all a great day with a great group of people.
We also did a quick hike to the Spanish smelter, cool stuff.

The wanna be Jeep thing doing it's thing, just had to go there Kevin, ya know I think the ole girl is mighty pretty

Thank you Art. Had a really good time, seeing my friends again. Its been way to long. Still got to get the locker in the front. Missy asked me if I was going to take the pretty jeep line to the left. To make her feel better, she was worried about me, I said yes. One advantage to being tail gunner, you can change your mind. The ol girl just truttted right on up, much to my, and everyone else surprize. And she even brought me home. Fuel problem solved. Now on to the Camaro. Kevin.

Hard to say, it was fun and you missed out. We did some creative lines here and there, pretty cool.
Mike took some pics and so did Chuck, Matt had his gopro on so that will come up at some time too.
Overall a great day, little chilly but great get together.
