Duh, Indiana is Stealing a hour of your wheeling time. If you don't set your watch 1 hour ahead, crossing the border. When you get there a 9am, you'll be a hour late for the opening.

Damage assessment : Jeff H Radiator blew a 6 inch crack on the top. Todd (me) knocked the right front tire off the bead in the creek, easy fix. Didn't need ether. Slight left side fender damage from the new rock crawl area. Bill,well. I'm saving these pics for the video. He had body damage front and rear. We were all LOAO! Bill did go rescue a JK that was high centered in the tubes. I heard he did a Dr. Dirt jerk n pull. I think I covered everything.

Not quite all the damage. After the Beef House, Jeff, Steve, and I went the the gas station across the street. Steve fueled and left. I was just finishing up, and Jeff pulled up. We talked a little, and Jeff left. 100 yards later Jeff stopped and raised the Hood on his tow vehicle. Guess what, a crack in the radiator.wasn't real bad. We collected so containers, and filled them with water for the trip home. Had to stop about 3 times to top off.
In Champaign, all the sudden, my truck ran over something on the road. Trailer tire blow out, threw the tire up past my truck. Changed it, We both made it home without incident.

I only really damaged the front of the "Easter Egg Jeep" the rear was already smashed.
