Well, that drift turned out to be huge. 200 feet long and a couple feet deep. 3 Jeeps had made it through downhill the night prior to our arrival, but had to be winched through (based on reports we heard).

We were unaware of the size of the drift but committed ourselves to Pearl on July 29th. Upon arrival I tried to get my Xterra through it but didn't get far. About the time I gave up, Pikachu drove his locked Xterra through the existing grooves and cut a nice swatch. We then spent a couple hours shoveling and filling the grooves with rocks from the glacier. Being warm from the sun, they melted into the track and gave us a solid surface to drive through.

An hour later 18 trucks were through stranding 4 pricks with their Jeep Cherokee and Toyota who had hassled us all day with their poor driving practices.

A big Happy Birthday to Pikachu for getting us through... the day was epic.
