Here are a few to start with...ENJOY!:D



Anita can really drive. Her Jeep weaved between the rocks in Oil Pan Wash, and finished the trail with 0% damage.



Brad's XJ Cherokee did a superb job on this "impassible" trail. Good work!



Mike's Jeep did a great job despite the BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires which lost a sidewall coming out of Jaquegel on Friday morning. After this trip, he's selling the BFGs and moving up to 'Swampers!:P



Chris now completed the Mission Impossible Trail with this trip on the Pole Line his 2nd time. Now, with 35" Creepy Crawlers, Detroit and Ected traction aids, McNeil Racing fabrication work, and a brand-new mule skull from Canyon Jaquegel, Chris' Explorer was large and in-charge!:!:



Thanks to the Skateboard Ramp being washed out, Paul almost got to use his 'Moab Wheel'. Being a big Moab, Ut. 'wheeler, Paul loved the switch to 'wheeling on Baja, Mexico's longest and most difficult trail. He's already making plans for another run on this premiere trail.

Without these three guys, the drivers would have had a really tough time out there. Pancho, Isaiah, and Noah really got out of the truck and took care of road building and navigation duties. Without Noah's on-foot, navigation, we would have never known that a portion of the Pole Line Trail now features a giant boulder blocking a portion of the Pole Line Trail. Pancho and Noah were some really good rock stackers too!

Here's a picture of me driving my Tomb Raider-edition through a newly mangled stretch of Pole Line Road. This section felt like a near rollover waiting to happen. Pancho, Isaiah, and Noah really got their hands dirty, building road to get all of us through the Pole Line Road in a timely fashion. Hopefully, Pancho and Isaiah will be driving their own Jeeps on the Pole Line when they get drivers licenses one day...:light:
