Took a trip out to Calaveras Big Trees State park for 4 days with a bunch of friends and some family. Went night wheelin' on the corral hollow trail, got a new dent on the bed. Detroit locker worked flawlessly and I was able to do 99.9% of the trail in 2WD. Had to put it into 4wd on a snow pack trying to turn around. Rock lights and 700 hid retrofit worked great.
Also, checked out Moaning caverns and tried out the zip line. Pretty fun. The park was great and there was a bunch of stuff to do around the area. Here's some pics from the trip.
Moaning Caverns. No flash. Using the light from within the cave.
Looks like a great trip Mike! I went through some similar caverns in that area many years ago and the "tour" we were on had us on a small raft crossing an underground lake at one point!
What'd you hit to get the dent? A tree?

That trip would be fun. Not sure what I hit on the trail. Most likely a tree. It was dark and I was in 2WD 99% of the time. So, in the steep climbs, I tried to keep my momentum without spinning the wheels. The rear end must have bounced into a tree.
