    Default Yankee Hill and various trails to Gamble Gulch



    Phillip, JP and some New Jersey folks in a bad ass JK joined us today and we played up on Yankee and played on a few rocks. Then we drove thru some snow and a few areas were pretty deep. I got stuck and JP winched me out and then JP dug in at the place we decided to turn around as it was getting dark. Phillip pulled him out and we all climbed out of
    the snow and headed home with a little sunlight to spare.

    had a really good time, JP you are the MAN! And your TJ is a beast to behold! Phillip, I am continually amazed at your driving skills and the Elephants capabilities. Thanks again for hanging out today guys!


    my iPhone ran out of storage so I didn't get much but here's a bit of what I recorded.... I wasn't able to get the part where JP tops the rock and is standing directly aimed to the sky..... it was crazy and AWESOME!!! I hope Phillip got some pics...

    Such a great day !!!! I am so bad with remembering names, I've already forgotten our new friends names. They came from Jersey in a real tough looking JK with swampers, 38 i believe. They took down our info, the club and they wanted my number so we shall be seeing them again !!! It was a pleasure running with them, I'm sorry I forgot your names but if you do get on and read this maybe you wouldn't mind texting me your names, that will help me remember.....

    I guess some could say," The Elephant is back" but he still needs some work to be what he can be and once was. Even though he never got stuck today I still feel very leary of pushing him to hard. I'll be replacing radiator, hoses, therm, front struts, and servicing the transfer case. He's tough though and should pull through surgery quite well, I have high hopes. He still can't go and do what SMASH could but that little beauty would've been stuck too !!! Them drifts were BIG !!!
    I did get some great pictures and video but now my system isn't allowing me to even look at them. I'll be doing maint on the old computer as well..... Don't know it's prognocess but maybe it'll be alright
    So as soon as I can I shall post pics and vids !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    What an AWESOME fun day filled with great people places and things !!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thank you Matt for setting up, thank you JP for guiding and thank you new friends for tagging along....Tons-o-fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Cant believe those two road tripped here from Jersey on 38" boggers! That's true dedication. I cant remember their names either .... until we find out I'll just refer to them as "BOGGERJ"

    Looks like a fun day! Phil did you trade the JK back for the Elephant? or do you have both now?
