My third and last trail to lead was way laid back, we ended up only having 8 rigs with us. The day went perfect, exept for me ripping a rear upper control arm bracket off the frame just before Dragon's Head, and then having to take the easy lines 
, It's ironic because I had a new long arm kit sitting in my garage ready to go on, so I won't be needing that bracket anyway!
Coming down the hill.

Dropping into the creek.
Gunner!!
The first ledgy section.
Nice scenery!!
Dragons Tail
Dragons Head
Dragons Tongue
All told it was an awesome Jeep Safari. I loved every minute of it; ok, ok, I did grumble at my alarm clock on a few of the mornings. Here's my list of carnage for both my Jeeps:
- 1 rear driveline U-joint and yoke: Commando on Rose Garden Hill. Replaced U-joint on trail, and yoke that night.
- 2 Warn premium internal hubs: CJ, 1 on Poison Spider, 1 on Metal Masher. Both warrateed.
- Broken frame: Commando we noticed about a 3/8 inch break in the frame right by the front passenger bump stop as we aired down for Hell's Revenge. Welded that night.
-Rolled over on passenger side: White Knuckle Hill on the Behind the Rocks trail. Rolled it back over and kept going.
-Passenger side exhaust fell off: Commando on the Behind the Rocks county road. Not fixed yet, still sounding like a Harley, saving up to redo entire exhaust system, it REALLY needs it.
-Rear upper control arm ripped off frame: CJ on Steel Bender. Don't need it with new long arm kit.
9 TRAILS IN 9 DAYS!!!!!!! GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
