wet brakes + steep hill = not fun + pucker

buck island lake

the lakes were very full

quite a sight to wake up to saturday morning

dan met up with us on friday afternoon

its always fun to wheel with dan

coming into the big sluice

dan in the big sluice

dan high centered in front, when he got off that rock he came down hard on his tranny pan which bent up into the linkage inside his tranny and prevented him from shifting out of 1st gear, much less turning off for the rest of the day.

bill coming down big sluice

me coming down the big sluice

sooooo close

i literally watched as i crept by this rock with a hairs space to spare.

at the top of cadillac

getting dan up cadillac hill was a chore since he couldn't reverse

another shot of me and bill up the hard part of cadillac

view from the top

its very gratifying to look down from the top and think "i just took a fullsize thru there"

group shot at the top

even after we were off the trail itself, there was still plenty of gorgeous scenery

there was water everywhere on this trip.

fairly deep crossing, damon is on 4Ds
