One of the first free weekend days we’ve had in a LONG time. Made use of it and the great weather to get out in the rookie.
Our JL had just about 1200 miles when we set out mid morning. The goal I had in mind was to hit the same “first” trail we did back in 2012 in our new JK. So off we went out to lake elsenor to hit the south main divide trail system. Unfortunately, we soon enough learned it closed in late 2013.
So, hell bent on hitting a little dirt, we crossed back over the main hwy to check out north main divide. Unfamiliar with north divide, we noticed a quick turn off to dirt. This ended up being the el cariso truck trail. Exploring we went.

This guy made the shelf road trail way harder than it needed to be. [emoji33]

Does this count as rock crawling?

Fairly simple dirt road that wasn’t too long. Parts were made fun with smallish run off ruts. The JL made it all a piece of cake.

But what would the day be without the perfect retro flashback picture. Here’s our first dirt pic from 2012, followed by one from today. The kids were good sports. Lol.
