JeepSWAG – Living with a Jeep JK

Headed out to Lucerne Valley early yesterday morning.  Met up with some locals and headed up to Rattlesnake Canyon.  All the shade spots had snow and the creek was running a little, in spots.  I was solo in my need to run Mottino Wash, so my Son and I left the group to do MW.  I was curious to find out how quickly I could get through the run.  From Rattlesnake Canyon to the first turn off a the top of MW took a little less than thirty minutes.  Sure beat the last MW run that I did, at about three and a half hours.

Great run today.  Covered some serious ground. Not much in the way of snow, but we got our fair share of rock slides and trees blocking the road.  I think we had to move 4-5 trees on Sugarpine.

We finished so fast, that we decided to do Cleghorn backwards.  Cleghorn is in great shape right now (read as lots of rutted trails and Cleghammer is great. I think that the V-notch mid way on Cleghammer is doable, but it would take way more cajones than I’ve got.  Lower CH is way fun right now.  Amazing how that trail changes after a good rain.
