Funny you mention that. My windshield was definitely speckled all over by something mostly clear but very greasy on the ride home. I am not sure if it came from Glenn or what, but when I tried to wipe some off it just smeared all over the place.

That bridge was the one on Mosquito 10 miles or so out of P-Ville right?
Love that sharp turn at the south end and all the scratch marks.
Was that the nastiest part of the trail? LOL!
Looks like you all had a good time and I am mega-bummed I couldn't make it. :(

That probably was 10w30 remnants escaping from the timing cover. Did I mention it leaks?
The trail was not challenging to any of the rigs, I don't think anyone needed to shift into 4x4. It was very narrow and had low hanging branches in parts. My roof rack took out a pretty good sized tree branch. Stronk Jeep. The extremely steep climb out from the bridge on Mosquito Rd was pretty crazy. The Liberty that was following behind wet itself. Kind of like When jr went to the VFW hall and met his scary great uncles talking about the war. Also on the way home a brand new Jeep Renegade was next to me at the light. I think Susan's issues were in protest of what the Jeep name is attached to now.

Did we ever hear from Stuka? Is he ok?

That renegade pulled up next to Glenn and told him "kill it with fire!" over the CB.

He instantly responded "wait, whats on fire?!"

haha. Saying fire to somebody in an FSJ is kind of like yelling fire in a nightclub, huh?

No worries, I anticipate another adventure in the early fall. Probably a craft fair, pizza, 1-lane bridge, type event.

I was thinking the Bodie run Stuka mentioned. Of course if we plan it right maybe we can catch the first monsoon or snow storm of the year.

Would Oct 25 be too soon/late for people? Bodie trip?

That should work for us. Just checked no street fairs or craft shows scheduled. Hopefully there will be some snow but not enough to close the gate.
