The trail starts out like this.  Hmmm....didn't seem that steep.

About half way thru on the way in, Gumball had some problems.  At first it just seemed like a broken u-joint.  Later we realized it was a spun axle tube that caused the joint to fail.

After several failed attempts, we gave up and Hardtop towed him into Barrett.  All he had was front wheel drive a tow strap and a red canoe.

It was slow going then, and some of the little ones got a little tired.  He asked why he can walk faster than driving.??

But it was worth it after all.  We caught a few Brook trout too!

The next morning everybody got to work.  It was quite the team effort.  Just about everyone brought a tool or a part over to contribute. Gator loves to weld.  The job came out pretty good too. Might just work forever now.

We are on the way home, now and everything is working fine. Below is some of the rest of the gang. Going thru this rock garden provides a lot of entertainment.

Gator showing off as per usual!

 This is on the way out, all in all we had a great trip.  Thanks gang for coming all the way up from So. Cal. I have lots more pictures if anybody is interested, email me and I'll post them if you want. That's it for this time.
