These photos are from a Mendo not-a-trip to the Panamint Valley in 1995.  We camped in the desert near Ridgecrest before heading into Panamint Valley. Before climbing the mountains, we had to get though some thick foilage.

Field repair of a broken U-bolt that left the right rear leaves sliding on this 109.  I think the 107SW contributed a nut from it's door for the U-bolt fix.
