Our annual Split Rock Trip went off with only two broken Jeeps and from what I hear, no broken hearts.
The weather was beautiful and the trail was even prettier.
There were a total of 19 Jeeps with a few guests.
There were no serious break downs other than Rob Thorburns Jeep sheared off a center pin off his leaf spring pack causing the rear end to shift enough to rub a hole in his gas tank.
We fixed it that night and found that rubbing a bar of soap on the crack in question actually stopped the gas leak – I would’ve lost a ton of money betting against that.
Kyle Jones succumbed to a broken oil pressure sensor that luckily enough, Rick Whitener had a bolt that plugged it up nicely and kept Kyle in the the race, so to speak.
Sunday morning a few of us made it over to the Carrizo Depot and an old Dolomite mine
