US West Valley of the Moon

Bummed out...got to the summit of the Cajon Pass and noticed some smoke coming from the rear. Pulled off the road and the there was fluid on the rear diff and axle. Instead of pressing my luck driving home and causing more damage...AAA premier came in handy and gave us a ride back. Well after finding the source of the leak it turns out not to be all that bad...the front diff breather hose came lose and dropped down on to the front drive shaft creating a gaping hole that was syphoning diff fluid out and coating everything back. The smoke was from it burning off the exhaust. Headed to the auto store to get a new hose and get her all good as new again. Hope you all had a good time out on the trail today...I will catch the next one.

Hi my friends here is a recap of our day on the trail. Not my best work...first time using an iPhone to film everything. I did get a little drone footage, yet the wind was kinda crazy. Enjoy.
I had a great time getting to know everyone...looking forward to future meetups. Have blessed and wonderful couple of weeks until then. Peace.
