Gabrielle and I had a great time on Sunday, and I'd like to Thank Steve, and the rest of you that were still there on Sunday when we arrived.

It was her first Off Roading Adventure and we ran the trails for about 4 hours with the 5 Jeeps. She had a blast. I asked here while riding one of the trails what was the scariest part, and she said the worm on her finger. Her only complaining (other than the bugs) was there wasn't enough Mud. Sounds like I might have another off roading co-pilot in the future, I look forward to her going again. As for damage, other than the typical front fender damage (I'm getting tired of fixing), I did manage to have a lock out hub fail, and break a steering box mounting bolt (that unknowingly made steering difficult). I did find a nice pair of trees in the playground area coming down one of the hills that did a great job cleaning the mud off the sides of my tires (on both sides of the truck at the same time).
