here is starting up the trail going across the moutains...very rough slow going. just about rattled your teeth out. reminded me i need to do the door seal mod..bad!








this is summit lake, at the top before you start going down.







then we headed on down the trail...even moreso into the wilderness














getting closer to the Willow side of the trail





found a Bed & Breakfast out in the middle of nowhere! lol

That's some beautiful country, I've got to get up there sometime. I'd kill for some 70 degree weather right now. Haven't seen that since January.

Doesnt take much to total a vehicle anymore. Most insurance companies will write a vehicle off as a total if the air bags deploy. But I've heard of stories where people have "totaled" the same car 3 or 4 times because they just kept buying the car back from the insurance company.
