What if it wasn't an RV and trailer blocking the way, what if that path just dead-ended into a wall or fallen boulder?

For once missing the adventure, seems like it worked out in my FAVOR, Ha ha. I'd love to go on the next one, but I think I'll leave MY Fj Cruiser at the paved parking lot ...until I get to know the "road" a bit better. -Yeah I'm a wuss!

It make me want to join you all for the next one. Living in Colorado it might be difficult but I must know when you go again. I have a stock nissan xterra but I'd be game to test it's limits. good god, that’s awesome. It make me want to join you all for the next one.

My partner owns an FJ Cruiser and does the rock climbing stuff several times a month. Here's hoping he never rims into THOSE freaks! That’s the best story I’ve read in a long time.

Tiring at the end, but the hilarity of it all made it almost worth the hassle. Also, there was a fire Brian forgot to mention. We stopped by the Ranger's office (they were almost NO help to us) and near the restrooms there was a trash can smoking and on fire. I put it out by soaking paper towels and wringing out water onto the fire. Hehe. I took 80% of the pictures here and Brian didn’t credit me :P
