After a five hour nap,

here is a recap of the trip.
![Moods :moods:](https://board.marlincrawler.com/Smileys/marlin/moods.gif)
Everyone met on the lakebed as planned just before 8. LoseKannon, Wheeler Peeler, Dizzydevil, Krawler 76 and Rock Hound (I am missing about 4 more rigs from this group
![Ack :ack:](https://board.marlincrawler.com/Smileys/marlin/ack.gif)
) and the Redlands group split up. We figured 12 to 14 rigs on one trail at night was a bit much. We did Wrecking Ball, LooseKannon and company did Outlimits.

The one thing I forgot to bring on the trip was my camera.

We started the trail around 8:30 p.m. and finally made it back to the lakebed at 5 a.m.

The trail was tough, but the one thing that held us up, Howard's 4 Runner.

The first carnage, while high centered, his fan on the 350 made contact with the radiator. After a lot of creative work, some stop leak and a LONG time it was fixed.

Then on the last big waterfall he broke a front hub.

Getting that piggy 4 Runner up that waterfall in three wheel drive was a challenge
We had a great time.

We are all definately better spotters after following the Zukizzy spotting method of "Driver" & "Passenger"
