Happy New Years everyone!  Just back from a steelfrog type hike (40 miles in 47 hours in the snow  :icon_eek:) and getting back up to speed here on the board.

Thanks iCe, Casa Grande, Homer67 (and others I may have missed).  It was a great trip despite the weather and we did cover a lot of ground but that was just the nature of trying to get to Mariscal without a high clearance vehicle. 

CG I have do have you and your 4X4 in mind for a future trip, maybe after next Thanksgivings Bender in the Bend.   :eusa_think:

Excellent report and photos. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thanks also to you TJ, it was your trip report to the badlands that inspired me to start where we did!

ME/TJ, could you point me to that inspirational trip report?

Thanks,
Al
