And got to see what was left of the Auger Hole trail....I feel old. I'll have to wait until the wife unloads her camera for pics.
The steel bridge was only two steel I-beams with no plates when I crossed it several times years ago in my '79 CJ-5. Of course, we also got to the Auger Hole trail from Frozen Creek outside of Rosman, too, back in those days.
Was nice to see it though, and even nicer to drive it again, even if its been almost 20 years. Took my "new to me" 2003 WJ daily driver on it's first gravel road run, bone stock, with stock M+S tires...basically driving with the idea of turning around if anything looked like too much for it, made it all the way to bridge. I don't have skid plates or recovery points yet, so turned back at the bridge, happy with how a bone stock WJ did.
Was impressed with the late model Range Rover coming across the bridge, but those SUV's have so much technology pushing them, I guess it's no big deal.
Did see a small group of three come out, an XJ, a Wrangler, and a Super Duty, as we were parked at the visitor center, and saw an OSCAR t-shirt. Wonder who that was?
Guess I need to order a skid plate for the transfer case, a small lift, and figure out some recovery points for the WJ, it will do fine until the XJ is bolted back together.
