Good thing Mike needed a jump or I wouldn't have found this. 3 mice built this nest in the two days we were camped at Buck.

Leaving Buck

Construction at the top of Big Sluice

Coming down Big Sluice

Coming in to Rubicon Springs

Luckily we didn't have to contribute to the "carnage fence"

The best campsite in the Springs!

With an awesome swimmin' hole 10 steps away

Mike, clear out your PM messages. I get a message saying you've exceeded your quota.

Taylor, Mike,

Too bad I won't be able to drive my future buggy - on tons and 40's - through it sometime... :gee:

 

[rockclimber]

I think we should've just taken your rig through it... I mean if anyone is crazy enough to get a rig on 35"s through there, mike is.
