HAH!
It was indeed a very fun trip! It was so good to be able to meet Jim, Cheese, and Bryan all of whom I thought were great folks. The wheeling was certainly fun, and the scenery was almost spiritual. I highly recommend that everyone atleast try to get to Moab once in their lives.
The rollover was completely my fault, and I am lucky the damage was as minimal as it was. My cage did it's job flawlessly, and really needs no repairs to continue on. My rear axle, and wheel are a different story. The wheel is bent badly, and there is a good chance that the rear axle tube is also bent. It's hard to see in those pictures why the roll even happend but let me assure you that anythings possible right there if you are not 100% into the game.
My favorite picture is not posted here "yet". It is the picture of my wife right when we knew we had made it up rockpile. I had explained to her that there was a VERY likely possiblity that we were going to roll over backwards, and if she wanted she could sit this one out. Well she decided to stay for the ride so I went over all of the things NOT to do just in case we went over. We strapped into the full harness, and got busy. I was a bit scared since it was just the day before that I dumped it so I did approach this with a make it or break it attitude, and luckly for us it actually went easily which I really did not expect.
Thanks again to "that" club!
