Have fun Glen! Hate I can’t make it. Life has been pulling me around in different directions lately :/ I’ll get back out there soon though!

. I ain’t scared! If you see my junk stop me so we can get properly introduced.

Interesting. When you broke an axle at the SHOP, do remember the folks who winched you out?
And the dude who unlocked your hub with vise grips while running beside your rig as you backed down?
That would be me. Exactly.
 
Well damn. I didn’t put it together.
 
Had a good time in Harlan. Ran into a few of you guys. Always nice to see familiar people so far from home.
Wednesday: ran White Tail Crawl. The MJ with me on 37 died just in the rocks. We could not get spark so I had to drag him out then he coasted almost all the way to Evarts.
Thursday: we ran mason Jar. I love that trail. We then went looking for Lion's Den. I have not been up there in a couple years. We got turned around a good friend rolled his xj on 32's hard about 2.5 times. Really shook me up since it was so violent. he was very shaken and the xj destroyed. spent the rest of the day getting him off the mountain.
Friday: Ran Rail bed. had a couple break so took until about 4 to get us all out. We had a pot luck back at camp that night so we hauled ass back.
Saturday: Ran Fish Fossil. Another favorite of mine. Took 8 rigs in 3 came out the top 3 had to be pulled and 2 turned around at the bottom. A friend played on Little Jager and was denied. It was sloppy. We then went to watch a race up Lower Rock Garden one of the guys on the BOD organized. It was fun. I ended up running in the big tire class and all the times were within 6 or 8 seconds of each other. We then ran Killin Time. I went and looked at Tail Gate. Damn.... Nope! So the guys I was leading then went and ran Trouble. Had to winch a couple rigs in some tough spots.
All in all I had a great time up there again. Some day I'm going to find the money and time to get up there more than once a year. I love that place. The only issue I had was my front passenger caliper kept spitting out wedges and springs. Ended up being a slightly bent bracket on the front. BFH fixed it Friday night and the last wedge spring I had is still in there.
 
:nopics:

Didn't see your group but this is the only group photo we got and it's missing the XJ. @JoshM99 , sorry.
