Ratchet strap fairy made a delivery this afternoon, I now have enough for three of my friends to use their low range on the next pig party.
Thank you ratchet strap fairy!

This comment sure brings back memories, M&D would take my brother and I out wheeling often in the old 327 powered Pig, if the hill got steep/rough enough mom would be hunched over holding the transfer case on low range.

I'll let @scrapdaddy tell the story!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Yep, happened to me. Brand new transfer case that must need some stick adjustment, kept popping out of low. On one very steep hill where my brakes weren't even holding, I had Jeri try to hold it in low, but she couldn't. J Mack seeing a problem ran down the hill and jumped in, but little did he know, Jeri had just put on some hand lotion and it was on the stick. J Mack being who he is, said he didn't mind as his hands could use it since he doesn't have soft hands. Well, we got up the hill just fine and Jim grabs a ratchet strap and locks the low range stick down, so for the rest of the trail it stayed put.

Back at camp Jim was commenting on how nice his hands felt, so I sent him a link to Jeri's lotion.

Even through it says butter on the label it made my toast taste terrible but my hands do smell pretty. Thank you Scraps!

Soft hands crew checking in!

Had an assistant once that insisted on bringing me coffee. Unfortunately she used this nicely perfumed hand lotion which would have been just fine if it wasn't all over my coffee cup. Never had the heart to tell her.

We stopped in this spot to take some pictures of all the pigs at Pig Party. I stood next to @Gordobe as we admired the Tetons. He made a comment that there is not likely an easy trail to the top of that peak. I told him I'd let him know because I had a trip planned to do it. I can confirm it wasn't easy @Gordobe. After packing in to about 10,700 ft on the first day, we rested some and 'woke up' at 2 am to start the climb. I didn't sleep a wink. We summited the peak at 13,770 ft at about 8 am. It was one of the better sunrises I've witnessed. It took about 5 hours to get down from the summit as there were several rappels and precarious sections where you can't make a mistake or you won't be alive to enjoy your Land Cruisers anymore. There was a good looking, though somewhat rusty 60 in the parking lot when I made it back to the cruiser. I considered leaving him a note but I was exhausted. My friend leading out in the first image below is about to turn 70 and this was his 10th summit of the Grand Teton.

Awesome!!! Congratulations on summiting Grand Teton! And your leader friend...guess you are never too old if you stay in shape. Great pictures!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Wow, that is something special. Hard breathing that high up. Good Job!

 

[residualboulders]

Thanks Dave! My friend actually stayed up there with a buddy to summit again today hoping to make it 11 times. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate so half way up they had to abandon the attempt.

I was trying to figure out if I was having a hard time breathing because of the thin air, or because I was exhausted from all the climbing, ha ha. Probably both.

We passed a bear eating berries in the trees on the way up. Probably the brother of the one you saw in camp.
