Not a problem Scott, I only took a few pics this time around. Your thread in the trip section is good.

Delray,

I saw you guys at the light right behind me whe you turned left on the main highway going thru Heber City. I actually went back thru American Fork canyon via what seemed to be at least to me a pretty obscure trail. It starts in Provo canyon literally right at the base of the dam. Its very steep for the 1st mile or so and heads due north up and over those large hills. It then winds back down into a canyon and makes for some very tight driving with steep descents and several creek crossings.

I then found another trail that climbed high up where I found that clearning and a great shot of the back side of timp. Very nice stuff, I love American Fork canyon!!!

I'm officially "in" now...just got the hall pass from the boss. :)

7:30 and Lightening Ridge sounds fine to me, I just want to get dirty!!

One quick question about the creek crossings. I don't have any breather mods on my rear diff, e-locker, transfer case, etc. Do we know how deep these crossings will be? Two feet or less should be fine as I understand from what I've read in the forums. Perhaps in the not too distant future we can meet up and have a A'Trac Hack/ Breather mod get together/BBQ. I'd be willing to host at my place. Got enough room for 3-4 vehicles.

Anyways, Sorry about the tangent...

The earlier the better for me...7 AM works fine. :)

As for splitting the group up, it seems a bit smallish as it is...

Makes sense Scott,

Will probably work out better for the Utah County folks so they don't have to come up thru Salt Lake.
 
Scott,

Nice one on the hi-lift jack for Casey!! I'm at about 90% to be able to make it myself.

Have we figured out a rendevue point yet? There is a Chevron gas station right at the base of Parleys Canyon on Foothill drive that could work.

AJ,

Tis a pity..i'm still tenative myself. I'm hoping I'll be able to get out and try out the new sliders that I put on over the weekend. And if I'm lucky, may be able to get the new skids put on as well before then.

Looks like it should be a good trip. I'm tenative as of now, but hopefully will be able to make it next Saturday.
