Ready to go. I have the fixin's for cheese crisps (just in case) and a sandwich too. I made sure everything is strapped down and secure. I plan on trying some of the harder lines and the up and over. Elvis has a reputation, we will see how it goes. Body damage is a distinct possibility. (It's okay, my jeep has more bondo than the late Joan Rivers face - RIP).

Great day wheel'n. No one broke down. It's a really fun trail. There are lots of different lines to try.

Kevin, I tried to take the up and over by my bumper kept hitting it. I think I may have needed to start more on the right. It would be great to have you go out and spot us over it.

Looks like fun. I was on my knees all day cleaning out a 1968 Ford F-100 rear Dana 44 that we are going to be custom swapping into my brother's 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9. I am sore.

Mike, had a feeling it was going to be the bumper, it's why I stated earlier I think your way to approach it was to come from the right get up on the fall, then crap walk it over to driver then up and over. I totally want to get back out there and would be glad to go with you and get that beast up on that. Glad everything went well. Thanks for the pictures Jerry. Jerry, get the super shiny QT case in and maybe we can convince you to try that fall too?

Except for my high-center mistake this is a trail anyone with a 4" lift and a rear locker can do.
Plenty of lines to choose, by passes as needed.

Looks like a fun trail. We do not have trails like that around here where its mostly flat with some ledges. Ours are all on the sides of mountains where screwing up could be a very bad thing.

It's been noted before, but we are very fortunate to have the Florence area available to us and so close. Especially nice that it's somewhat between Phoenix and Tucson, so brings together the two "families" of FSJ'ers.

We are pretty spoiled out here, that's why we need to get out more :D.
