I might be down for Saturday. Will let you know for sure towards the end of the week. I did not make it down Sunday. I Was too tired from hiking 12 miles and climbing up cliffs Saturday. And had a busy weekend. Got covered in ticks from head to toe up in Hemlock cliffs in Hosier National Forest. Next time I go repelling it's going to be fall time. And I drank almost a whole gallon of water Saturday.

I can't wait to go back down there. And your pic's just make me jones for it.

Where'd you go climbing? Are they top rope Sport or Trad? I'm always looking for a partner to go with. Besides, my trad gear is sitting in my basement collecting dust. I have too many good weather sports.

Also I keep seeing a green Sahara around my area. It's stock but has a forum sticker on the passenger side. Only other thing I noticed is a compass tire cover. Does anyone know who this might be? It's the second time I've seen the girl driving but I can't seem to get an answer on who they are on here. Anyone know who she might be?

dubya i haven't heard of a trail named that, where was it at down there? i haven't seen a hard trail down there yet, unless you go into rockytop orv park. looks like you were on some good trails

we had a spur of the moment trip to slade today! we didn't get to ride a lot b/c i have to go to work here in a couple minutes, we did carburator, rode around on some easy roads, and started to do widowmaker but we ran out of time. i'll get some pics here in a day or so. i was very pleased with the super swamper ssr tires, i should shredded one on widowmaker, but it didn't even make a mark in the side wall.

we just went repelling at hemlock. I do have rock climbing gear but I'm not in shape like I used to be. The red river gourge will be my next outing but going to wait till fall. To hot out and I hate ticks.

is the girl cute ???

I know exactly who you are talking about. Her name is Jenna and she is a really sweet gal- loves that Jeep to death but if I remember correctly she bought it used and it already had the forum decal on it.

Did you get a pic? I am sure there are some around the forums, but I will crawl under there and do the deed if needed (that's what she said).

thanks man, but apparently they are held on there by some plastic bushing? go figure so i'm either going to drill a hole in the lever and put a carter pin through it, OR put the linkage on the lever, and tack weld a washer on the end of the lever to keep the linkage from sliding off until then this is how i do it
