    Trucks kept rolling in throughout the afternoon, as nightfall hit we hung out around a Coleman lantern as we opted for the no fire.... Had some sport sodas and some laughs. I hit the rack shortly after midnight.

    Dude thank you for those! and all the cooking you did for us.

    Haha man that thing was breaking the whole trip, and when it was not breaking it was getting stuck on over sized ant hills :rofl:. Even the 2wd Taco's killed it this trip! :mudding:

    Thanks for all, it was my first trail run in US. It was very easy non technical route from my view point but working in convoy is not an easy part.

    Few cents from me

    At the end just a quick stop on Panum Crater and go home.

    Packed up the tent and headed to Laurel Lakes.

    A little way up the hill Blue 2wd Taco lost momentum and couldn't get going again. We tried few different lines but was just too loose under the rock. So @butters_ spun around and we hooked up the umbilical cord and pulled him up to a turn out where we left the truck along with @Sdtrueblue 's truck.

    [​IMG]

    And we were off again. Little Bonus line climb... Was actually pretty steep in 4hi 2nd gear. We barely made it up.

    The views were okay I guess...

    @TacoSauceHB Thanks again for organizing and coordinating a fantastic weekend!! The fact that you drove up a couple of times to scout out our campsite location was superb.
    In fact, seeing your handiwork on this trip, I've decided that if I ever need help planning a vacation, I might just have to reach out to you for assistance! :bowdown:

    After the trail Saturday, we decided it would be best to load up and head home after 2 rough nights with the little man. So hit the road home.

    Thanks again guys for letting me tag along, great putting some faces to screen names.

    Went from 3rd Gen Taco to 3GT4R to 2nd Gen Taco and finally a V8 4GT4R.
    Anyone have GPX files that they can share? Just got back from Canada and itching to use my new RTT.
