It has been wild. Water crossings, steep rocky ascents, and never for sure till you're there where we'll be camping for the night. We've camped in an Ingals grocery store parking lot, a Wal-Mart parking lot, national park campgrounds, and an open field along the TAT.
Last night was a heavy thunderstorm. It was still raining in the morning, so we packed everything wet. Detoured off the TAT to a gas station to gas up, put on dry clothes, and get some food.
We haven't been making the miles a day like we had hoped. Hard to rack up the miles on rough gravel roads, and some in the group are on a time limit. And having 8 to 9 vehicles in the group makes things go slower. So after lunch a few of the vehicles decided they were going to split off and be the fast group. So that left three vehicles the "less fast" group including me. My TJ definitely is not fast.
So we actually jumped ahead a bit on the TAT after that. After a while, rough gravel roads with trees on both sides gets repetative. Here's where we are tonight.
Since we packed everything wet this morning, we're trying to dry things out this evening.
