Well, the trip to Harlan was a success and nothing broke! Logged 664 miles round trip including offhighway miles. The park was great and lots to see. Weather was scattered showers and mid 80's for the highs. Got in to the campsite around 4:00 and waited for the others to arrive. Some came in that night and others where coming in the next. Friday we woke up and hit the trails. We went to the middle rock garden and played on the railbed rockgarden. Drove around and explored a bit and eventually met up with some others that came in and went to the mason jar trail. It was way too wet to run so we headed back to camp. Saturday we lead some guys back to the middle rock garden and then off to the lions den trail. This was the most insane trail I have ever seen! 5ft drops, boulders to rip off the top, trees to take the paint, it had it all. Non of us had any rig worthy or ready to come out with damage so we just did a walk thru. We went back to the mason jar trail and ran it since the soil had dried up. I lost a bikin top to a tree and front light to a tree but it was all in fun! Ready to head back again soon. But my 3rd child is due in October so I won't be wheeling for a few months. That's ok since it's time for a mini overhaul on the ole Jeep. Just needs some TLC from the rides and a good cleaning. These rides take alot out of the parts and I have been a little neglective. Updates to come!

Awesome pics and beautiful countryside! Great to be able to get to things not accessible to most vehicles! Jeep looks like it's in it's element.
