I got home first so sorry about the bad photos from my Treo Phone. Thank you all. The hosts: PhilD & sFox could not have been any better (sFox have you recovered from the "trench feet"?). The Hummer owners were superb. The venue was out of this world. The guides were very good and very patient. The owners were very gracious and friendly. Then there was a deluge and the off-roading became truely awesome with stream fording, slick rock traversing, and even some mudding. The camping was primitive but the starry sky was majestic (thanks to my fellow campers for the company). Can't wait to hear what adventures were had today. Sorry I bailed out but I figured some points with the wife today will be converted to more future trips with you folks .
I must say, from my very biased perspective, that the H3's did hold their own. Hopefully the other Hummers agreed.

ETD, I would have to agree... was a GR8 day of off-roading (even for a newbie like me!) with the X-Club! And, I have to say, I was quite impressed with the H3's performance on the trails! (even without a locker!)
Thanks to everyone for their encouragement and patience on Saturday... made for a fantastic experience!
More Treo photos...(Mostly of my fellow H3 since this is an H3 forum.)
Sorry I meant to post the above on the H3 forum. Here are the H2's Treo shots.

Does Paragon have a matching dent now and is his mirror ok?
I want pics of the wet Jeep.
Nope, no body damage this time, except for scratch/ slightly bent-up bumpers and wheel chewed up pretty bad.
Once I blew the bead and was stuck there until we could get me to the point of popping the tire back on, 2-H2s, who was riding shotgun at the time, decided it was a good time for him to eat lunch since there was about 1/4 inch clearance between the rock and his door.
Dang, they enlarged it and some resolution was lost. Sorry.

Just for you Ken.
Kind of hard to see, but in the first pic Shane is sholder deep hooking up the jeep to the winch. During the downpour lightning struck a metal fence post a short distance away and Shane took a pretty good jolt while he was in the water.
P'gon, I think Ken was referring to the one I fabricated...reserve hell, I'm down to one full H2 & one scabed together one for now, thanks to YOU.
Ken if you are interested I can use mine as a templete. I have the Fabtech diff skid plate from Trail Duty as well, then custom manufacture that one to fill in the gap.

I've got the TD one also. PM some info, if you would.
