Teebes' fresh BDS lift kit install just had to get tested today. Whew! The two of us went on one side trail in particular that we had to stack rocks to get up. And that was on the return trip to the main trail, so we couldn't just give up. Didn't need the winch at least. Went on Otay Mountain Truck Trail (a term used for historic routes, not "trucks" in the modern meaning), and Minnewawa truck trail, where we came across the carcass of a National Guard Huey that went down a couple of days ago. Under guard by Army types. Met a LOT of Border Patrol officers, on patrol.
Videos and Teebes' pics still to come. Check back.
Anyway, severe clear visibility with Santana winds - the first pic is what it looked like towards downtown San Diego, over 20 miles away.
The chopper. Nine were on board, five hospitalized, none with life-threatening injuries. Could have been landed in MUCH less hospitable terrain.
The shelf roads in the area.
Target practice, anyone?

At the end of one trail.
Yep, we went on that little trail in the background.
And this is the start of the tough one.
And we had to go back UP to get on the main trail.
The only two known BDS kit-equipped trailvoys in San Diego county.
