Good times....thanks for tagging along, lots of water, mud, and new paint sctratches for all...even some winchin' practice.

When we staged up at the step, we ran into some traffic, about 12 rigs lined up to go up, most equipped to hit the far right line like this mini...
BUT the last guy, in what appeared to be a stock jeep, with liquid encouragement, as well as peer pressure proceded to try to crawl the step full throttle, which resulted in a busted gas tank, as well as three - four humourouse attempts and finnaly a strap. They were still trying to patch the tank when we left about a half hour later.

A fairly new Bronco, stripped, shot and rolled, and then our destination the Bend and old growth tree stand by the river. GREAT camping spot, in DIRE need of a trail cleanup.
Not pictured was the trail clearing of a small tree with the handy dandy chainsaw...batteries ran dead.

No worries, mine died right away as well. If it hadn't of been for my father's camera, we wouldn't have had any at all...
