A couple weeks back we did a day hike from the end of the Jeep trail to Twin and Sunrise Lakes in this drainage. I'm guessing the hike was something less than 4 miles total which gave my wife some time to throw line at the cutthroats-and she did have fun! She caught one every second or third cast.
Out let area of Lower Twin Lake.

My wife enjoying herself at the expense of some cuts.
Sunrise Lake again.
And a parting shot at Sunrise Lake.
Other than spending an hour trying to come up with a means of keeping one from shock beating its self to death after the rubber mounting went to pieces (shocks from MOPAR's lift kit with maybe 5k on them-junk!!!), it was a another very pleasant day. When I got home, I looked at the other front shock and it had the same problem but at least some rubber left. Both the rubber and the washer going to pieces-apparently from too soft a rubber compound. I replaced both sides with some left over Mercedes items I had in the shop. Fit perfect but am doubting the shocks themselves will have any longevity. Moral of the story: don't buy anything MOPAR for a Jeep.
