We had a great and pretty adventurous time. We ended up with 9 rigs since Calvin ( @ccslider ) had vehicle issues and had to get towed home before we started. The weather was great and we had a nice cook out.

As we approached the Kingston pass we got stuck behind a JK and a 2018 Grand Cherokee full of completely unprepared kids. We ended up helping them A LOT and in the end @DanielChase had to drive the Grand Cherokee. These kids were about to be in a dire situation until Rising Sun showed up. I'm sure others will add more details and pictures.

Here is one of us at our cook out/potluck.

Wow bummer dude!

It was a great time! While Jeff, Ann, and Chase were graciously helping our new Jeep friends, A few of us were having our own Celine Dion concert/karaoke in the back.

Thanks for leading Jeff!!

The Jeep kids were super cool, and gracious for our assistance. They may be on future Rising Sun runs!

That last photo is SUPER cool! Really wish we could have been there. Abby's volleyball team is just too good and kept going further and further in their tournament until they won the whole thing. This unfortunately meant we got out too late to go wheeling with you guys. :cry: Zoe was doubly disappointed as she was bored all day and couldn't go wheeling.

I’ve got one coming out soon. I’ve decided my Lexus is getting an LS.
