Glad everyone made it back safely and nothing too major carnage wise.

I just sat down, literally. Got home a few hours ago and came home to a house with NO AC! Been workin on it but no luck. Unpacked everything and parked the jeep. No clean up. I am beat! Temp in the house is 80+ and it sucks! Mountains were nice and cool, hot and humid here > Had an absolute blast as usual for Harlan. Trails were great and way different than last year! Great group and nobody had to be drug around. Props to Ryan!! There is a good bit of a carnage list from us all. I had to replace a valve stem one morning, bent a rim and bent the right rear brake line on a rock (pinched). But will post pics tomorrow. Brought the video camera but it went dead the 1st dang day and I never charged. I was busy on this trip leadin and spottin. Mason jar in the dark going the wrong way is definitely one of my top 5 night rides. It was just as fun headin up in the day. Tired, that is all... ;D

Yeah absolutely the best trails I've seen! It looked exactly like Tellico at some points! Ryan your Jeep did awesome.
I will be back the second my XJ is finished {letseat} (Lion's den) . Jared your dad is awesome, it looked like he was having a great time, Very cool! And once again we had a great group with us, Can't wait until the next ride!

Oh yeah, thanks again Todd for letting me catch a ride. That night ride was awesome!!

Thanks again Ben for the leading. I tried to give you a break Saturday but the right side of the park just wouldn't let me win! Stupid lack of signs and steep trails... Again Harlan was awesome and those who missed it missed another great trip. It was a little more wet this time than last year but there was still plenty to do. My carnage was coming down a ledge and catching the bottom rear corner of the tub. I bent it back some with vice grips and found some touch up paint at an Autozone in Lexington that matches my paint code perfectly. I am ready for bed after the drive to Harlan, a late night ride, all day friday, part of saturday, 3 hours to Lexington, late night with friends and then 6 hours back home...

Im finally able to get on a computer. Mad it home yesterday at about 4. Unpacked and cleaned the jeep some. Only damage I have is broken front inner and outer axle shaft on the drivers side front axle. I have a few scrapes down the side fo the flat fenders, and stinger. I think those are from the night ride as well.  I am currently going through Drake's photos. There are about 1500 or so, it may be a little later this week before I get some up.

I can't wait to go again

Somewhat recovered from the weekend.  Did so much driving that my hands were hurting (that, or I've got a touch of the rheumatiz).

Here are my pics...didn't take many on the trail, as usual...too busy wheeling!!
