• me, driving.
• Gardner Canyon Trees.

• Alux, walking by my X.
• The Wagon again...
• Another view of the trailing Land Rover.
• Alex and Drew in the Land Rover.
• The two vehicles at the traditional stop at the Gardner Canyon Cess Pool.
• Me, gesticulating.
• The 'Rover with Alux visible.
• A mountain.
• Wait a minute, what is this grain thing here for? Giddiyup, U TURN!
• The 'Rover near the grain thing.
• More grain elevator pictures. We were obsessed!
• Me, by the X.
• Me, by a tree.
• Drew by a similar tree.
• The view of Drew's 'Rover from my side of the X.
• We were parked here...
• Jack!
• Jack!
• Bring me a shrubbery!
• A little bit of rocky road...
• Same road, closer view of the X.
• Again, the X. These rocks were not huge, but they couldn't be sped through.
• The 'Rover.
• Xcursion is over. Time to eat at Applebees. Eatin' Good in the Neighborhood!

• OK, see, Jack was fascinated by the FRS radio.
• ENTERING PRIVATE PROPERTY (Legally)
• Throwing a rock in the Cess Pool for dramatic effect.
• Driving down a dirt road. Exciting!
• The Great Grain Caper!
• The "toughest spot on the trail" according to the book. Not the hardest spot we took, as it turns out.
• Drew and the 'Rover's turn on the "toughest spot on the trail."
• Drew and the 'Rover's second turn on the "toughest spot on the trail." Look for the tree.
• A tougher spot...I guess it's not technically "on the trail" the book describes, though.
• A dirt trail on the way back.
