The run was great! 8 vehicles showed up, TJs, YJs, CJs and a Bronco.
I didn’t break anything, just got the tires out of balance.
I went up the El Hill again, just for show.
Tim’s CJ-5 lost a hub (that reminds me, I need to get a spare for myself),
George blew up a battery on his CJ at the farthest point of the “Pirates
of Caribbean” trail not far from the Old Mine. This is a trail that goes
east from the El Hill. I had to drag that CJ through the whole Los Coyotes up
to the gas station. My MTRs showed a miracle of traction on rocks, pulling up
my jeep and a disabled jeep behind me up the 80% slopes. Sometimes I would get
stuck in dusty sand and Andrew would strap me and the jeep behind. I think my
rig is longer now than it used to be this morning.
