Mmmm, that is amazing. Besides the natives who lived there, just think of how FEW people get to see that site due to the inability to get there.

Very cool! :victory:

What a neat trip.

Kinda reminds me of a modern day Indiana Jones.

Carry on, sir! Carry on! :victory:

Thanks for your comments, folks. I'd like to go the the same area again and try and find some more. Maybe this fall when it has cooled off again.

Matt used a hitch, and added some rectangular tubing to it with the two can holders (Blitz, IIRC) bolted to the top. Simple, and tucked up and out of the way for the most part. Those are Andy's Scepter cans on the back there, and he learned firsthand how rubber gaskets+gasoline=broken flanges and leaks.

Here are a couple more photos from the trip:

Ya good times on the rubber gasket issue. Good thing DS Tactical has us covered. Just waiting for new flanges and Viton gaskets. We need to do more trips like this asap, they are so much fun.
