So we all got out safe and sound. yjzonie, it was nice to meet you. Grady, the Rover armor appears to be a good investment. Also nice to meet Djlarroc. The Jeep broke, costing us a couple hours of trail fix, but I'll have to admit to encouraging them to take one of the hardest lines on the trail. Also, to his credit, Chris had the needed parts, tools, and know how to get things rolling again. On to the pics.

The Jeep stretches out

The open/open tomato negotiates the moderate route

yjzonie climbs an obstacle...

...and though it doesn't look like much in the pic, here is where he started from

None of me. I'll have to wait for others to add theirs. I kinda forgot about pics after the first bit.
