I was the guy in the black diesel Blazer you passed Saturday morning on that one hill (Jacob's Ladder???).
Our group was staying at Lil' Abners.
Friday we ran the area around Sandlick - Slider, Little and Big Widowmaker, Devil's Brew. Had a YJ break a front axle u-joint first thing that morning on Slider but we just winched him up to the top and he headed back to do repairs. Late afternoon a TJ blew out a rear driveshaft and broke both rear shock mounts off the axle on Widowmaker...fortunately towards the end of the trail and only needed to be tugged twice to get out of the creek. He did need pulled up a hill on the gravel road on the way out. Even with a locked front axle, 36" Swampers, and some momentum he just spun out.
Saturday we ran around Booth's land and surrounding area (and since somebody always makes a comment, we had permission from Charles). Ran up Jacob's Ladder (?), Hairpin, and Lower Staircase. Still fumbling around this area as we don't know it real well. On the way back that evening a few of us stopped off to run Carb Hill.
