Hey it looks like you guys had a great time! I hear you guys came across some wimpy Jeeps. I was one of them!No offense taken, it's all in good fun!
At least you guys are enjoying what we Jeepers love to do, and that's wheeling in the great outdoors.
Glad to see you guys made it out okay. Did that other guy end up staying with you or did he leave? I was leaning right on that boulder where that rattler was. Talk about a close call!
Powerline/Hackberry Creek is one of my favorite trails and I run it at least once a month. It's amazing what the rains have done to the trail in just a two month period.
You may have heard that sadly this trail may not be open to the public in the near future due to a proposed copper mine in the area. If a bill is passed to give this protected national forest land to the copper industry it will come true.
The area is also a favorite spot for rock climbers. Did you get to see Devil's Canyon from the short side trip just east of the green valley. Awesome views! This is where rock climbers and mountaineers come from all over the world to climb those massive rock columns. You won't catch me doing that!
Anyway here is a link to where you can write to your congressman and let him or her know why they should not give this land to the copper industry.

Hopefully all of us who enjoy trails like this can make a difference.
So when you see one of us WIMPY JEEPS on the trail, just give us a big wave! You know it's a Jeep thing don't ya!
Oh here's a link to some pics from our trip
