    We just exited california st. Gassing up and should be there in a few minutes. If you guys took off already, that's cool too. We'll pass by the meeting spot just in case.

    Thanks for the ride folks. Let's do it again soon. I even came away with some new custom pin-striping for the trail limo!

    Cherokee guy here. Cool meeting some of you guys. Some cool trails.

    Tacotafish....most of that should wash off. haha.. "you can buff it off!" - No, seriously. Most "should" wash off. It's the only time I would suggest one of those drive-thru car washes with the spinner things. I hate those otherwise.

    Here's a rental that had some pinstriping. A good wash, most came off. Only the deeper stuff is left. It helps a bit. And if you want to look even better, try using a glaze, followed by wax. Something along the lines of Poorboy's World Black Hole (glaze) and one of their waxes. (although in this case, I actually polished out the left over scratches)

    Thanks for posting the pics, guys. Those are great! I was so focused on driving (first real trail in the Cherokee) that I didn't bother to take it all in.

    Thanks for the info! I have a few deeper ones that will have to be buffed out. But I might keep them as trail badges so I don't look like a mall crawler.

    It was nice meeting everyone.

    I've gone up there during the winter before and wouldn't mind going again. Sometime around the 17th, 18th, or 19th?
