YotaTech.
I will make a webpage later to have on my site in my trip report section, and it will contain higher res pics sized at 1200x900.
But I wanted to get all of my pics up quick, and a video I put together with most of the vids and all of the pictures.
Here is a list of those who attended.
I did not get all of the passenger name, sorry, and if I misspelled any of the names, please let me know.
I can update the list here and on my website later.

Wow, great day and fun!
We got a break form the rainy weather when we met up at the Enumclaw Safeway, and also when we were up on 72.
Jim, Thermal, and myself we left around 1 PM to head back home while the rest headed up by the Naches Trail
We will get filled in more on their adventures when they start reporting to the forums.
We hit rain on the way back home between Enumclaw and Auburn.
The ARB FJ Cruiser showed up today, it is always nice to see it as it has all ARB products on it.
They even had the ARB fridge in the back like I had in mine.
I brought a gob of ice cream bars, and I think most got one it not more than one
We headed up 70 and then to the gravel pit on 72 to play for a bit.
The pit is always interesting.
Although it is not wooded like a trail, the pit offers a chance to get your rig very articulated and some of the small hills in there are a challenge.
After we left the pit we continued up FS 72 to the photo op place we always stop at to line the rigs up and get some pics with Mt. Rainier in the background.
Only thing is, the mountain was hiding from us behind the overcast day.
We did have some sun at time, and it was nice that it was not raining.
Also there was not much dust flying around at all since the ground was wet due to prior rain showers up there.
At the stop there the camping chairs and grub came out.
There were hotdogs, brats, and more.
I cracked open the ARB fridge/freezer as I had brought along 3 cases of ice cream bars.
That was a nice treat for a change, first time I had something like that while on a wheeling trip.
These fridge/freezers are great for day trips like this, even better for overnighters.
After everyone had stuffed themselves, we decided what we were going to do.
We wanted to find Lonesome Lake, but it was already getting a little late for Jim and I (he hit the hay late he told me, and I had been up since about 4 am) so we headed back along with Thermal, while the rest of the gang headed on up by the Naches Trail to either run it or scout it out.
I saw an awful lot of nice vehicles today, and even got some ideas if I go with some aftermarket wheels when I upgrade to some 285x70x17" tires.
It was nice seeing everyone today and meeting some new people who I have conversed with on the forums, and putting names to their faces.
Some I had seen before from previous trips.
