Looks like a portable BBQ.

This is BCs truck the other split we took on the Magruder trip. This was taken at a nice little fishing hole we stopped at on the Salmon River.

yes the step gets in the way for ground clearance. That road wasn't to gnarly for it though. before the trip I unbolted it and made sure all the hardware was clean and then bolted it back on. That way my 3 year old little girl could climb in and out easily and if we got to a nasty road I could hop out and quickly unbolt it. My first year on the SST I learned not to run a step on those kind of roads and totally destroyed my previous step.

This past weekend we took our bus out into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains for a picnic.

waaaay up in the clouds. Unfortunate weather as it eliminated the spectacular views, but interesting none the less.

a looooooong way down

A few from Tahoe area

then a turn down a rutted road and a steep turn turns up the pucker factor to level 10!!!

it doesnt look bad in the pic but the road was HAIRY! Going down was easy, some pics at the lake side, and an attempt at airing down the rear tires to help get back out, going up was a PITA!!!

Several stalls and one burnt clutch later...SUCCESS!!

Here is a view of the hill from on top. Doesnt look bad unless you are driving down or trying to go up. Its the switchbacks and deep ruts that will get you every time!!

Back on the road limping with the faded clutch disk I make it to the summit for the second time!

Another happy ending in Splitlandia!!
