Another Trail Jamboree in the books. Great time as always. And as always, I have cell phone pictures to share. Because, everybody loves pictures.
We ran to Funny Rocks & Moon Rocks on day 1. Day 2 was the Naches Pass Trail, and day 3 ran the Little Rattlesnake Trail. The weather was perfect, and even was a bit chilly at night and on the ridges.

Tuesday afternoon, we found a good little spot in the back corner behind the Desert Rat Nest.

On the Naches Pass trail, I helped a 4dr JK around a corner on the first little hill climb section, to avoid possible hard top damage.

If for no other reason, THIS is why the PNW Jam is on my 'someday' list...

Agreed. Those were just the high hoods. There were so many cool Jeeps and things, just walking around looking at them is half the fun of being there.

So were the High Hoods part of their own club? Curious as I have one in the garage who gets lonely!

4 of them were from the Hombres out of Puyallup. Not sure where the other two were from.

I know that spot. I think I have somebody else's Jeep paint on my Jeep from that tree, still. And a slightly distressed soft top. :roll:

For some, it is part of the challenge. For others it is paranoia. Yet others didn't realize what they were getting themselves in to. Then there is the DGAF crowd.

I'd rather not get more dents/etc. but I don't lose sleep over them.

Dave, you head home a week ago Sunday? I'm pretty sure I saw you heading home on our way to Cle Elum.

Looks like lots of fun. Maybe some day I won't have something else scheduled for this run.

Yep, That was probably us. We had to hightail it home to make my Dad's birthday party.
