China Wall - Friday 4/10

[JCro99]

We left for China Wall around 6:15 am on Friday and met my dad and uncle just off of 285 and c470. We then met my buddy Kevin, his bro, and dad up in Conifer and then all headed to the trail.

We had 5 vehicles: 3 TJ Rubicons, 1 JKU Rubicon, 1 XJ (there are 2 khaki TJ's, didn't hardly get any pics of mine)

This was the first time on this trail for all of us and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Just enough challenge to make it worth it while not being too difficult for the less equipped Jeeps. I wish the drive wasn't quite as long, but we had a blast either way.

We had a couple of trail damage incidents including a busted shock mount on the xj and an adjustable track bar stripping some threads on one of the TJ's. Other than that, no issues and we had a great time. Definitely found a new camping spot for the summer at the end of the trail.

Start off with obligatory pic of my new bumper that I installed last week :D. Thanks to Don (ColoJeeper) for the new spare as well.
