I'd like to hear the story about the rock in the leaf spring also. It looks like it was put there intentionally to compensate for something that broke. I've heard of trail fixes almost as weird as that. Two ratchet straps = RLCA, right Jeff? Why not rock + strap = leaf spring? HA HA!

Too bad 4x4trails.net has been down for a few days. It had great write-ups on several of the trails in the state that could be considered for inclusion by out of state people that might want to come.

I'd be willing to lead or co-lead a less built group on something while the big boys play on Iron Chest. Whenever there is a split of a big group into a 'hardcore' group and an 'easy' group there are always those that want to do hard stuff that really shouldn't. While I think I could do Iron Chest, there will be plenty of other chances for me to do it. I'll be proud to take stockers on something that will challenge their driving skills and provide photo opps of our great scenery and historical landmarks.

There's lots of voices that I'm waiting to hear from. Its time to get the rock rolling so vacation time can be arranged. To a certain extent I have to take the leftovers when it comes to summer vacation time. The sooner I request my time off the more likely I am to get it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Hillbilly]" title="" src="graemlins/notooth.gif" />
