Cal, that is some bad volcanic rock in that shot -- ouch! We discovered on this trip that even though a really rocky road can be "smooth" enough not to create axle-damaging clearance problems, it can be so rough that we just had to crawl over the bumps, sometimes in "four wheel low."
The good news is that the trailer was able to tag along for the ride, albeit very slowly and carefully. There were times that DW had to walk ahead, making sure that there was nothing so major that we could not handle it. We had to back up and turn around once, which is a lot of fun on a narrow forest road, especially with a squirrely single axle trailer.
