Mood: Pole Line Road postponed due to injury

[*] posted on 2-28-2019 at 09:49 PM


The Pole Line Road was exactly the same as I remembered it. Although the more I run it, the more it seems to be shorter each time.

Here is Billy in his Unlimited Rubicon JK flexing on the trail.



Here is David (6 Wheelin) in his built 4 Runner running TOTAL CHAOS and ICON suspension. By the end of this trip, he completely BENT his rear axle housing. But he had a good time breaking those parts! :o





It was a picture perfect day on the trail for all of us that day.

Basketball Hill and beyond




Rich T. is your tire man! He had Saturnino back on the trail after cutting a sidewall on Basketball Hill!




David (6 Wheeln) couldn't keep this smile off of his face as we set up camp with postcard perfect skies and no camp fees to be paid :biggrin:



Here is where he camped Sunday night..



Ed's JK Unlimited performed great all weekend! Here is his camp space Sunday night.





We camped a total of two nights on the Pole Line leg of our week long trip. We chose a camp space that would be safe in the event of a flash flood since rain was falling west of us. Our morning on Monday morning was spectacular!

Big Hill and beyond

Karen and husband Daryl made the 4,000 mile round trip from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada to be a part of this odyssey. Here they are hugging in front of the Telephone Pole right before the BAD HILL.

More are being uploaded as we speak. I'll finish the next 3 threads hopefully this weekend. The memory gets fuzzy after a long time, so the sooner this happens, the better.

Nice!
Nomad campfire circles are great times... I miss the ones we used to have with Mike Humfreville, Debra, and others no longer with us!

Nothing beats a sunrise in Baja!



A quick climb up to get some pics of the posse.



My Jeep looks like it was made by Matchbox.

Thank you, Akula. I did the run with Ken in 2015... It was epic to be on something built during the war with Japan!

The start to 2019 began with t-shirt and sweater distribution before this run kicking off in February of that year. Two years flew by faster than I can imagine.
