Trip Leader: Steven Schaefer. 50+ trucks of all varieties (mainly Toy's) showed up for my planned event with Toyota's FJ Cruiser Trail Team. The group was so large we had to split up into 2 groups. The modified group ran the DeSoto Mine Trail and the stockers ran Mt. Union. The DeSoto trip was long due to some stuck stock vehicles in the rocky wash. Overall though Steve did a good job leading despite the major challenges that a big group demanded. Good job Steve! Trail rating today...3+. http://shottscruisers.smugmug.com/Four-Wheeling/1997-Lexus-LX450/DeSoto-Mine-FJ-Rocks-AZ-with/DeSotoMinewithFJs001lr-Medium/75276724_g3HVH-Ti.jpg http://shottscruisers.smugmug.com/gallery/1559148_FANCU/ 2006-06-13T06:39:47Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
