Heather, Hannah (my
daughter), and I joined Ron, Dave, and Reagan (Dave's daughter) for one
last trip to Tuttle Creek this year before the snow flies. The weather
over the weekend was great, with only the nights being a little chilly.
Ron, Dave and I all made our attempts at Rock Garden. I was determined
to get through and did fairly well until the last ledge where I got a
little high centered (need bigger tires-more lift....) Ron did good
with the exception of bending his tie-rod into a "V". He still managed
to drive it to the end, with the tires pointing in at each other. Dave
had about the cleanest run, only breaking a u-joint on the last ledge.
He managed to three wheel out of the garden (too bad we all had to
learn what happens when the axle stubs bind...) I didn't get out the
repair work either this weekend. Sunday morning, I was going to
"attack" a fairly steep ledge. The little stock S-15 rear axle, that
had held its own for the last few years, finally decided to spit out an
axle shaft. Well it was a great year, and a good time to take a break
for awhile.
