Around lunch time on Thursday 07JAN10, we (cjgumby rode shotty) met with Jeffb at Sheetz off of Rt. 33. After fill up and last minute goods picked up we took off for the bottom of Long Run Rd. by the church. We air down the Titan and Jeff's TJ and I decide to attempt to tow the CJ up the trail as far as
possible.
About a quarter mile up, I decide to unhook it and warm up/air down because I didn't want the CJ to take the whole setup off the cliff to the right. There was a lot of ice and because the dolly pivots to allow tighter turning, it also allowed the rear end of the CJ to slide freely on the ice. With several hundred feet drop offs being only a few feet away, we decided not to risk it.
CJGumby leaving the comfort of the Titan to drive the CJ. He wanted to drive the cheaper vehicle in case of damage.
A couple of hours later, we arrive to the campsite up from the ATV unloading area and immediately began building camp utilizing what little light we had left.
