Almost always near the edge. Not very technical but still worth paying attention.

Broken in the middle of the trail.
Digging in and successfully removing the broken axle shaft! Called in on the Sat Phone for a spare.

Lockhart Basin Run.
Arrived at Old Spanish Arena and ate dinner.
Two trucks grabbed the spare axle and made a quick drive at night back to the broken 60.
The axle install took way too long. Lets talk about arb lockers and different thickness c-clips.
Full loop (including pavement) took 5 hours drive time.

Steel bender decided to rip out a valve stem. No "colby valve" available. Replaced it the old school way.

Crossing the Creek and negotiating the ledge to enter the trail.
Both 80s paid a toll.

Our trail leader took a tumble (3x) on the way back. (Sorry I did not a get a photo of wheels up, too busy positioning and pulling winch line to get him back on his wheels).
