Sorry guys. I'm still in California for the next two weeks. I need to get an SD card reader to get these pics off the camera.

For those that were at the Buena Vista Colorado WCCC, the Rubicon is like Chinaman Gulch on steroids--only harder! There were no seriously hard obstacles, but instead only twelve miles of continuously difficult boulder crawling with assorted steep climbs thown in the mix. Tight twisty, tippy sections, numerous three to four foot drops, awesome scenery and some great folks and impressive rigs on the trail. The 4XGuard sliders took some really hard hits as did the underbelly armor. Jeep Jamboree starts this Friday so there were a lot of the volunteers already on the trail getting set up. The mechanics were already at Rubicon Springs set up ready for repairs. Everyone was helpful and encouraging.

I got several comments about the XK. "That's the first Commander I've seen on this trail," which came from the County Sheriff. "You're the first Commander" which came from the Forest Sevice patrol. I saw no other IFS rigs during the trip (out of perhaps 100 vehicles)! We earned some respect I think.
