    I had a great time today.  It was enjoyable wheeling with you.  Here are some of the pictures I took.

    I was wondering how your camera did on the video recording.  I'd like to see it.  Please let me know if you can post it on you picture web site.  If not, I can post it on mine if you want to send it to me.

    Again thanks.

    Whenever you want to do the complete loop, please let me know.  I enjoy the trail and have done it 4 or 5 times now.  I even came close to getting my Rubicon stuck back there.  This was before I had a winch.  I got sideways between two very large bolders.  I put the lockers on and had to use power.  Not the way you want to do it but I did get out and thankfully I didn't break anything.

    Looks like a good time Yes

    Last time I was there the loop looked hairy. Normally if something breaks I'll just fix it, but now that I'm unemployed, I have to baby this Taco!

    I can understand and appreciate that.  Just let me know when / if you want to do the complete loop.  The back half is a good 3, maybe 3.5 in the dry riverbed.  If it has alot of water, I would put it at 3.5 easy.  I don't know if I would do it with the big boulders under water. 

    Once you get past the dry river bed the shelf part of the trail is washed out and rutted in many areas. Lockers would be a benifit but if you have enough movement in the axles you should be ok.

    I had some time last night to download the GPS Coordinates into the DeLorme Topo USA software.  Here is the current trails I have mapped at the Sun Flower Mine area.  The green dot is how far we got this time.  Maybe in the future we can go a little farther.

    If anyone would like the GPS coordinates to create this map, please let me know.
