Can't believe I still haven't been out there! Need to go soon.
Still waiting on a clear shot of younger Eddie though...

CLEGHORN
Here's a few pics from a semi-snow run that we did up Cleghorn Trail or what some people these days call, 'cleghammer', as a way of making it sound more badass. Anyway, I'm pretty sure these were taken way back in January of 2001.
Meeting up with friends of ours at the gas station right off the 138. Funny how some things still look exactly the same today.
Gassed up and ready to hit some dirt!
The higher up we went, the more muddy it got thanks to the melting snow.
And of course, we eventually got into the snow as well.
Our friend Vince getting a bit hung up in the slippery stuff.
But, before we needed to break out the strap, a few of us were able to push him through.
Pete giving it his all but still slipping and sliding in the ruts.
But again, not bad enough that a bit of a push couldn't help out.
On the back side of the snow and heading back down.
Working the big ruts.
And unfortunately, that's all I could find. If I could guess, I simply ran out of floppy discs!
Hope you enjoyed these pics from the past and you can be sure more are coming soon

Looks like a fun day! Seems Bronco Bob isn’t the only one to break up your full-Jeep runs; I used to love those xterras. lolCLEGHORN

to be young and able to push ... these days it's "grab a strap or pull the winch line!" but also, they weigh a lot more... or do they? lolCLEGHORN

LOL - it's funny how back in the day, there were a lot more 4WD SUV's that were made to do some light wheeling and fairly well. Of course, back before the 4-door JK, it was more practical for guys to buy them, especially if they had a family. Needless to say, that's what a lot of the people we wheeled with back then had.
LOL - crazy how much bigger and heavier everything has gotten over the years... in terms of vehicles that is

Do you still talk with these people and do they still have jeeps? Seems they are reoccurring in all these photos. Just curious.

I'm actually a big fan of that era of vehicles (90s/2000s) for that exact reason - the fact that there were so many higher clearance SUVs with 4 doors, while still being "smaller" by today's standards, such as the 4Runner, XTerra, Rodeo, Cherokee etc. Really miss the 1999 or 2000 4Runner my mom used to have alongside my dad's TJ when I was kid.

I haven't spoken to any of them in quite some time. For most people, Jeeps and or off roading as a whole or any hobby for that matter, it's just a fad and after a while, it passes and they move on. For the other few, they moved away or in our case, we moved away and drifted apart.
Yup, it was a good time for 4WD SUV's back then and I miss it.
Sadly, that'll never happen and mainly because of fed regulations.
SNOW IN THE MOJAVE
Here are a few pics that we took back in March of 2001 and it was from one of our many explorations of the Mojave Desert. And, much to our surprise, there was a considerable amount of snow out there.
The start of our trip was cold but otherwise, looked like any other day out in the Mojave.
However, the further we went, we could see how we might encounter some snow.
And, before we knew it, were wheeling our way though the white stuff.
But, before we knew it, we were out of freeze and back into the desert and on our way to our destination of the day.
Exploring an old mine.
Of course, thanks to the storm that produced the snow, there was also a lot of water down in the valley as well and that made for this cool shot.
I know it wasn't a whole lot but I hope you enjoyed the pics just the same.
More to come

Very cool pics! Even I can remember when everyone had those Sport Chalet license plate frames - are they even still in business?
