Tons of fun and a very adventurous day, we had a great mix of rigs; Broncos, Jeeps & Toys. The old adage that if you don't like the weather wait a few minutes was in full effect. We started the day in drizzle, that turned to a down pour, then fog as we rolled into the foothills, sun at the trailhead and on the beginning of the trail, then rain & sleet near the top and finished in sun when we made it out,

and lovely.
BSD didn't survive the day without incident, on a steeper loose section the driver's side front axle snapped the u-joint. My own fault as I should have just stopped there. Have I mentioned that I didn't have my rear drive shaft? Every person on the run offered tools, assistance & advice to get it rolling again. We yanked the axle and grabbed the good one from Bubba Smurf, Willem only whimpered a little and got some valuable RWD only driving experience.
