Definately next time Boss. We were thinking about running it backwards next time around.

I know there will be tons of other pics, more action shots and some cool videos. Stay tuned.

Thanks also to Steve, Josh (nice weekend work station (attached)) Rusty and Ray for great spotting (you should apply to the Toyota Trail Teams.) And great meeting all my fellow NorCal FJ'ers!

To Ray: Nice chatting w/you at the gas station. I was also happy to greet the successful dog search possee coming down from the top of Mt. Reba today.

To Steve: Nice pics as usual (you too, Ray), especially that quad split frame of the Slick Rock descent. I sent you my thanks along w/a similar group photo and a few trail notes in the original thread (Corral Hollow & Slick Rock August 22-24), but thanks again for organizing a challenging and pleasant 2 day run! Slick Rock was an excellent "shake down" trip for my Rubicon tour -- I've got a few things to do to the Jeep to get it "ready" before then. I'm also still planning to see you at Mono again in September after visiting Saline Valley (w/Nevadesh & company) and Racetrack (solo) in Death Valley in the FJ. Until then, Ciao!
