    I'm leaving first thing in the morning. Will need to hear what time to meet y'all at the turn-off for Black Bear on Tuesday (assuming that's still the plan).

    Finally got the XK Side Guards finished up today, so there'll be extra bells and whistles on the rig!

    What time would you like to meet up? I thought we would leave camp at 9am.

    DAY TWO / CLEAR LAKE & STONY PASS:

    CLEAR LAKE: Off Road Miles = 16.2 / Total Miles Driven: 23.2
    STONY PASS: Off Road Miles = 37.2 / Total Miles Driven: 60.4

    Today we did two runs... The first run of the day was to Clear Lake (a repeat run from the prior year) and there were only two Commanders on this run. We did not want to sit around in camp and wait for people to show up

    That should be fine. Looking forward to it. I'll be waiting at the highway turnoff. Will have one Grand Cherokee with me -- Russ of 4xGuard -- and the donated tail-light guards.

    You should have my phone number if you need it, I think.

    The guy with the snorkel doesn't know how to park! Just kidding. Nice pics. I hope to be able to make the trip sometime.

    This fall my wife and I are taking a driving trip out west to Grand Canyon and where ever else we end up. No telling where yet.

    Thanks for the pics. Have a good time!
