Yep, she's sitting pretty! Got a bath today, too- green, who knew?!!! I'm getting a haircut tomorrow, too. That way I'll be more aerodynamic when falling out of the xj.

Seriously, I spent this afternoon airing up and deflating, airing up and deflating- no more "2nd attempts" at anything (except walking upright)!

Note to self; Red Bull Cola at 10:30 at nite= bad idea

I can't make it.
:x

Atlanta airport is closed due to winds and I'm stuck for the night.
Wont make it home till noon tomorrow (I'm in DC waiting on a plane from Atlanta).

I sooooooooooooooooooooooo wanted to go tomorrow that I'm even mad as pointless as it is.

I know Sunday is easter but if anyone wants to go out and do anything let me know.


Have fun guys,
Mike

Is there an easy path to take on this trail? I ran this once in my Grand, and almost slid it into a huge rock near the beginning on the Lovell side. I dont know if I was in whats considered the wash or not. I would like to run this trail again, but not if I have to go next to this rock again.

If all goes well in the morning I am planning on showing up. I might have to hit my favorite mexican place for the artery glogging breakfast burrito. :D

Hey Joe, if you happen to map the trail, I would love a GPS track log. :D

I've had nearly stock XJ's and TJ's on this run and they did okay...it almost sounds like you were in the wash. Not sure though. I don't see why you wouldn't be okay. Up to you if you want to go though. :mrgreen: :wink:

It sounds like it was a great day on the trail.
I really wished we could have made it.

Oh well hopefully we will get out tomorrow am.
