we warmed up on raw deal (no pix of that) then headed to Lower Terminator. lower terminator is a dry river bed with a couple of falls in it that changes with each rainy season.
"white line" named for the big stripe in the ground used to be a lot easier to drive... but i smacked my windshield into the rock wall beside me when it slipped.

near the exit of the trail is an optional line that is called a "buggy line" because you usually need a well built buggy to make it. i have tried this MANY MANY MANY times. it became my "unicorn". last weekend i got it!

if you look close you can see some smoke coming out from under my rig - that's the clutch. i had the trans rebuild in july and they put in a Sachs clutch instead of the LUK clutch i asked for... and that's why it's smoking. i have to say it does pretty well for a 4,000lb jeep with a 4cyl (2.4L - the same engine in the PT Cruiser) sitting on 35" tires.
