Here are some of my photos. Unfortunately, the ones of the snow crossing on Mosquito Pass didn't come out but I'm sure other folks have lots of good ones. That one deserves a good video anyway!
Here is the group from the easy morning run of Day 1.
Afternoon run of Chinaman Gulch
Swaybar discos didn't help on this one.

Have a safe ride home. Great job organizing, Jon! The family and I had a very memorable and enjoyable time, and this is one newbie that will be back next year!Originally Posted by Knappster
BTW, I made good use of the air kit that Huey put together after my run of Grizzly Lake on Thursday. It worked great!
And now for more photos.
Day 2: Mountain passes, mines, ghost towns and more gorgeous scenery than a person can stand.
Some happy campers on Hancock Pass
The way back down.

Got Home last night (Sat). Was good to see you all again and meet a few more people. We had an awesome time. I was too tired to organize any photos so i just dumped everything i had so far to the following link. THANK YOU to Bills grandson for taking many of the photos on Chinaman. I handed him my camera and and he fired away while we navigated the terrain. We have tons of awesome video too, but it will take while to get it all ready to view.
I have tons of pics of all the members on the trail taxing their XKs!

Trialbyfire's group and My brother and I, made it all the way to Grizzly Lake. it was a pretty crazy trail. Once we got there, they went back down and we climbed (not hiked) to the peak of the mountain along the lake. We made the climb to the peak up and back in 4 hours and 15 min. It was a butt kicker to say the least, but we made it up and back with no injurys.
Here are a few of the "Jeep portion" of the climb. I am glad Trailbyfire was there to vouch for how steep and rugged this was. The harsh winter seems to have really ripped the trail up.
