... that 's how steep it feels...
in the two pics at the bottom, notice the scrapes and some dumped fluid, and some broken window glass - looked like someone took the route not to take

Sweet pics Claudia - makes me jealous as I can remember the runs from last year.
If you and Michael can make it to Asher's next weekend, please bring your pics (CD/DVD/thumb drive are all ok). We will be setting up a projector and using the side of their house for the screen.

All I know is that neither of those Hi-lifts are in a locked position, hopefully everyone is safe and it all worked out.

I brought ROD (Romers other Daughter) with me to Moab this year. She is 15 and did a great job wheeling today.
The first picture is of me on Elephant hill and the next is of Nathanieal in his 60 going up to SOB hill (Which isn't as hard as it use to).

We wheeled Spike and the crack with the FJC team today. They were letting any who wanted to drive. The team drivers don't baby them, I wouldn't buy a used one from them!
The FJC in the crack, a little wheel lift anyone!  Then cruising double whammy

First, kudos to Chris in the FJ Cruiser for marvelous driving - nobody thought you'd make it up Double Whammy!
By the way, as seen on Golden Spike yesterday, here is GM's secret answer to the FJ Cruiser: the FJ Blazer!
If anything, this oughta scare anyone away from thinking about buying GM...

Since Rachel is DOR, shouldn't the other one be ODOR (other daughter of Romer) instead of ROD?  That just sounds better (kinda)..... Sorry Ken, but someone had to point it out!

Great pictures!! |
That was what they started calling her at first. It didn't thrill her so mr. "I Sole Problems (NorcalDoug) suggested ROD to her. She likes that better. She is learning quick, here she is going down one of the hills at Fin's and Thing's today.
She is 15 and a half and on the way out here she was talking about still riding with me next year. Now she is telling me a 60 or an older 80 would be great. She is a quick learner and I know we will both remember this trip.
