Ok guys, Here is the Thread where you can post your pictures, Movies and stories:
I think the guys had a good time and a few were even stretched a bit. Be sure and ask the about the part Carl named "Suicide Corner". It was just before Chicken Bridge and Chicken Rock.
Thanks,
Fred

A little fun on the early part of Goler Wash where some of the rains had added a little bit more challenge by blowing out some of the gravel and rocks that has ben used to smoother the trail.  More to come, Fred Explorer 1 |

Great Trip. Thanks Fred for noting it took me four times to get up Golar Wash....LOL, But I made it!
Suicide Rock, for those that missed it, it was a long way down on a narrow trail. I think the climb was probably easy, it was just the potential drop that put a little challenge to it.
It was a great time with Christian men.
Fred I have some pictures, but the forum page says each one is too big. I will try to forward them to you, maybe you can post them.

So I washed under the jeep and accessed any new carnage after I got home. I found I had significantly bent my passenger side geometry correction bracket. I have replacements ordered and a project for a Thursday night soon.
I had a big rock that I put my right tire on roll out from under the tire to the inside with a big clunk and slide...pretty sure that's what did it. This was in one of the little rock gardens in our exit over the pass the morning of day two. Carl dislodged the rock right in front of me and it rolled into the center of the trail, I had to put a tire on it as I couldn't go around it and it was probably 18-20" tall. I was last I think at that point so nobody else saw it or had to contend with it.

I'm not one to take pictures unfortunately, so I don't have any. However, I want to say thank you to everyone for making this a great trip. My son Jason and I had a great time. In fact, Jason wont stop telling everyone stories, and there are a lot of them!
I also wanted to say thank you to everyone for spending time with Jason. I know that hanging out with a six year old can be a bit much some times, but everyone was patient and made the trip a positive experience for him. I really appreciate that guys.
Thanks again,
Jim

Some of those pictures look more like you're in a cave than a trail!
I was at first surprised to see you on the trail Saturday morning and then sorry you had to turn around and head home so soon. There was much conversation about if you could have made the South Park trail Saturday. It wasn't about the bridge but the narrowness of one particular turn just before the bridge. It would have been the challenge of your life to get around it maybe requiring a multi point turn and may a winch pull.
Maybe some of the guys have a photo of the turn, Carl named it suicide corner.
It was truly one of those times when BIG wasn't better.
Thanks,
Fred
