When we left at 5PM the JK was still near the entrance/exit. Also of note is that it was not a factory tie rod, it was a Currie and was snapped cleanly just after the threaded area. That had to have been one heck of a hit to snap it and not bend it first.

What was more amazing is how they got the Jeep out of the woods. Winched from the front, over the cage, just like a tow truck.

There was a girl walking through the woods taking pictures while we were wheeling. Does anyone know who she was working for and how we can see those? I'd love to see my XJ on the trail.

She did take a pic or 2 of your jeep when we are on the trail. I already checked "all things jeep" website and did not see any new pics from Saturday.

I think MFW said there was a photographer there for All Things Jeep and they will have pictures up. Scott also said something about the Jeep dealer having someone there to.

She was there to take pics of the event. She is currently editing them and giving them to ATJ, when they snag the photos they like she will then post the others.
