What a success. I had a blast. Saw some of the best views from the detroit area. The weather was spectacular - you could see soooo far!
My little cousin, Justin, has only been driving a year and this was his 1st wheelin trip in his stock 88.5" Sami. He did awesome. He even crawled the washout/creekbed (off Breitenbush) that I believe Greg F. & Val discovered... That's a challenging obstacle for your first trip out in a stock zuk, I don't care you ya are...
Anyway, thanks to everyone who participated.
I'm still waiting to hear back from Chris from Sandy. For those who weren't there: He was climbing the hill off french creek and halfway tore his spring perches off the axles and oil was somewhat seaping out. We tightened his u-bolts, removed the rear driveline, got him some 20w50 oil for keeping the rear-end full, and he headed home around 2pm. He was a great guy w/ a nice zuk.
Well, I'll try to get my pics posted tonight.

i saw chris in the sharies parking lot later . it took a while but he made it back o.k.
great trip had a lot of fun with the family and my son enjoyed his first wheeling adventure. too bad the damn camera battery was dead :'(
hey davie , when you get a chance can you please e-mail me the pics that you took
thanks man
