    15th ORT in The Lone Ranger – Flat Nasty 3-9-13

    After a quick battery swap Friday night, I was ready to hit the road Saturday (first time I’ve ever had a battery short internally). For the first part of the day, we hung around in the south portion of the park, jumping up and off several trails out there. In the afternoon, we wandered around the mid section (trail 20) and a few other places. Travel: Once we aired down, we jumped on the Bunny trail and wandered around from…

Since the wife came along, that means that there are some photos of the truck for a change. We…

Turned out to not be that big of an ordeal, but it took some time: Travel: Group Shot:…
