hey greg, just saw i had this still in youtube.

i think his 2dr XJ is almost identical to yours except open-diffs on his.

justin (spotter) was quite good, but next time at charouleau i'm pretty sure we can get you through it too.

Cool, thanks. Yeah that definitely looks do-able, not as bad as I thought. I will have to give it a try next time.

And speaking of next time, what would you guys think of an overnighter, its a pretty long trail, we could leave late morning, mess around, camp wherever we feel like, might be fun...

i was thinking a 'Catalinas Loop' as a run

start out at Charouleau Gap, then zip across Peppersauce to Redington Road and through Chimney Rock before ending up at the Circle K.

Was going to try to wait til days were longer and I had lights in case the Chimney Rock leg was a night run.

didn't get to use my lights at Turkey Creek and I have yet to revist Chimney with the new bumper.....

That sounds like an awesome trip. We could also go back via the backside of Mt lemmon, I heard it's pretty easy but might still be fun. While we're in the area there is also the road up Rice Peak, and what is supposedly a pretty cool cave near Peppersauce Campground (I think its actually called Peppersauce cave) that we could check out.

If we do want to camp we should try to do this before it gets too hot.

Sounds like another overnighter is brewing. skivviss better get some more tequila.
