Jamie and I led the moderate group until around noon. Had a good time w/ some members I hadnt met before and then headed out. All my damage was from Fri & Sat so I just had to be careful on the ride home. Fingernail happened yesterday stackin rocks and was throbbin by the time I got home so I tried the drill technique. Act feels and looks alot better now than when I posted earlier, but still wouldnt do it again.
I'll add to the list of breakage, add my brand new set of front shocks, looks like I blew them out again, and add a set of control arm bushings. Other then that a great time on the trails Friday and Sat.

That's cool. Sorry I had to bail, but last night was drama filled, and just made sense to head home.

Thanks to all the organizers and trail guides. Had a great time out there and escaped with minor damage, only a tire. Thanks to Tyler, Jamie and Mike for the great spotting. Looking forward to the next JK fest.
Sorry you had to get out early. Hope all is well.
Can't believe you drilled your finger. I think they were pulling your leg on that.

Thanks to ALL our members who where able to attend!
I had a great time, I tried to get to talk to most, I apologize if i missed you. WOW there where a lot of people!
Thanks PIAJ & Bustabizz for a great weekend, it would not have happened without your efforts.
The better half did just fine (in fact perfect in my opinion) for her first time out, she had a blast, didn't speed, didn't tailgate, put her tires right where they should have been every single time... but unfortunately got a touch of the flu or something so we ended up having to bail off the trail so she could go lie down and feel like hell in private.
I did get to drive a little, so . Wasn't much, just enough to tease me. In fact, the only bumps and scrapes we received, where from when i was driving and slid off/upended a table rock. It flipped up on one end, whacked the bottom, and a slid sideways and ran a downed branch across a fender. So, the first Rausch Tattoo i added.
Downside? I had planned on her going down some greens to get her confidence up a little, then move back to the modified group so i could give a shot at amending my sidesteps.
Didn't happen this time around, but there is always next time. and I am already looking forward to it.
The better half has already asked about unloading her VUE and getting her own Jeep.
I have effectively pulled her over to the Dark Side...
muahahahahahahahaha....
I am so proud of her...

I think it was Kenny from River Raiders that I met this morning.. He was heading out to RC..The family and I did a trip to King of Prussia Mall.. They just opened a LEGO store.. LEGO's rule!!
But of all the things I have seen on this trip, I saw an Amish girl roller blading.. Nothing against the Amish.. Very very nice people.. But Roller Blades?

Your not kidding! This was the first time we had our stock JK on the trail and I was amazed at what it was capable of doing! We had such a great time meeting everyone from the JK_Forum and 4wd Hardware. I can't wait to do it again!
I had a good tim leading you guys! we pretty much saw the whole park!
team daily driver covered a LOT of ground.
