SchlingBlade, guess a tree came out of nowhere and slapped your door. I hate it when that happens.

It was actually pretty funny, at least to me.  I don't have any glass in the front doors, so nothing broke other than the mirror.  Door still latches, but it takes a good jerk to get open and closed now.  Laugh

 

I'm uploading the video I shot to Vimeo right now.  Should be available either later tonight, or I'll post the link tomorrow morning when I get to work.  The audio is really quiet, though.  I forgot to reset the audio after I recorded a live concert a few weeks back.

 

And the video is uploaded!  http://vimeo.com/13814762

I pulled the rear bumper buckets and threw them in the garage attic with the front ones and then stopped by Palmen Motors and the way to work and ordered a new license plate bracket. 

 

It all good again and ready for the next trip!

Man, that looked like a fun time. Jeff you look stuck almost as bad as I did when we went in April and was there for about 2 hrs after the park closed. Lol. Glad to know you guys had fun. Cliff's looks a little different, a little more open and not as many ruts, did they change it a little bit?

Well from what I can make out, the ruts I saw in Jeff's video were killer.  Btw; nice vid Jeff.

They groomed most of the trails and got rid of or greatly improved the ruts.  Those bad holes we bottomed out in april are now pretty easy to navigate.   The weird part was the lack of ruts kind of made it more challenging because there was nothing to "guide" your jeep down the trail.  You kind of slipped and slid all over the place like driving on glare ice.  It kind of keeps you white knuckled when the trees get to close to your rig.
