Went and ran box canyon in the rain. I didn't take many pictures but here is a shot a bit before the entrance. We got out to take in the awesome views.
It was a great day. Water was flowing through box canyon and the washes and creeks were all flowing too. Woodpecker wash was flowing water big time.

Since you said woodpecker, the sap sucking SOB in my neighborhood is back for the summer already. Little prick has the hots for the street lamp in front of my house and likes to do his thing at sun rise.
Great pic! Your sure have one great looking Cherokee!

Thanks REDONE! Made it out again yesterday with a few more wranglers. I think the orange one is a 'TJ'. Had a blast. Here are some pictures one of the guys took:
One guy's wife made street taco's! Super yummy. I think she is trying to one up me on the food. Maybe at Ouray Pot luck I will do street Tacos as the appetizer.
Great day to be out, lots of clouds and temps were upper 70's lower 80's. The desert is really greening up.
Street tacos is the best idea I've heard all day! (Granted, it's barely 8am, but you know what I mean)!
Do you catch much flack for rolling big old iron? Obviously it's been a while since I've been out, what with the baby and all, but before I left WA I'd wheel with tiny jeepers from my Army unit and they acted like money badger was either disposable or invincible.

The street taco's were awesome. She marinaded some onions in lime juice and they also had a special cheese, looked like parmesan but wasn't. So yummy.
The Jeep folks don't seem to mind wheeling with me. The big red Cherokee can keep up with the stock Wrangers and the modified ones as well. They actually like to see the old iron out on the trail. And they are envious at how much stuff I can carry.
It was somtimes kind of funner in the Waggy. It was just 4" lift with 31" tires so it looked 'stock' to those guys. The front and rear lockers combined with the sliders made it a lot more capable than it looked. The body was banged up ( but not extreme) so I was almost fearless. Two funny times I remember crossing the paths of other jeepers. After climbing a difficult hill one guy said "I love that wagoneer, it is so unassuming". Another time out by Martinez cabin a group showed up and one guy got out and said "Who got that wagoneer back here? I want to shake that guys hand". LOL
It's going to start to warm up out here soon. But I am pretty happy with my attempts at getting out. Only one trip so far this year was challenging but I just like getting out and being outside and, well, jeeping. So I am going to try to get a few more runs in before Ouray.
