Phil and I just got back from running Deep Creek. We ran into a few issues. First, the alternator on Ron's Jeep (Silver one) stopped charging and he couldn't start his truck up in Deep Creek. Then his brother Matt (Black Jeep) was turning around on a hill to jump start him and broke an axle u-joint. We switched Ron's battery out for Phil's and Matt and Ron headed out and Phil and I continued through Deep Creek.
Just after the waterfall we were going through a section that had some rather large bolders. Phil was leading and I watched him high center his transfer case on a bolder but he was able to get free and climb over it. I then followed but without as much ground clearence I got stuck. Then while we were trying to get me free my front driveshaft seperated due to over extending the front end that was no longer on the ground. We put it back together and Phil towed me backwards to try and free me but towed to far and pulled me back up on a different bolder and my driveshaft fell out again. We put it back together again and through a combination of rock stacking and the tow strap were able to get me free.

Sounds like you guys had fun in a hot wax on the nipples sort of way.
I'm working on the video. It's going to take a little while, there's actually quite a bit of good footage, though Sean somehow missed my last ascent on the long hill towards the end. I was really hoping he got that. Ah well, there's a lot of good stuff especially of Phil going Banzai over various obstacles.
And for you suckas who think a stocker can't deal, suck it.
