Yeah, they were great people, and oh man did I like their LJ!!! I would definitely trade them two CJs and an XJ for it... haha, not even close to an even trade though! Their home built crusher corners/tube fenders really saved them some from serious body damage too (minus a little trail trophy to the driver's half-door). As for the backpacking dificulties.... to make a long story short, here are a few minor setbacks... poorly marked trails led to nearly 10 miles of travel in the wrong direction, temps in the 90s, foot fungus amoung us due to a little rain storm and a creek crossing, wet feet, crotch rash (not mine), a time crunch, and probably too much gear led us to decide to quit a little early, which was VERY tough for both of us considering how poorly we accept defeat. Other than that it was a super time!! Tons of laughing and great scenery the whole time. This fall, we have a score to settle with mother nature. (feel free to start making bets now).
