And back - a very fun trip. Super group of hearty campers!

Since all four trucks were campers we added another 2.5 hours to the trail with the Saline Valley Road to the Cerro Gordo and ended up +9000 feet up on Swansea camping near the Burgess Mine ruins. A wonderful night with zero wind and nice cool temperatures. The ride up featured the first winch rescue I'm seen in +24 runs with the club. On the way down we stopped and looked at some petroglyphs. Photos will follow over on the pictures and videos forum.

Someone used a winch! Sounds like a truly epic Xcursion.
I eat other peoples food.  It's a sickness.

Well I have never used my winch and since Diana got pulled over by a sheriff - I will be putting my front license plate on. Good pictures - glad everyone got back safe.

Make Diana put it on, she got the ticket.
I'd rather be happy than right any day.

Here is a pick of me in Mexico getting my back waxed, what came off looked like a demented possum.

It looked like a demented opossum before it came off.
