Today Penelope and I drove up past Pecos to dig through some mine tailings for interesting rocks. Yeah we're rockhounds, so what? After finding some good specimens we decided to take a 4WD trail up to the top of Elk Mountain. It was a great drive, about 20 miles each way. Once again, the FJ totally kicked ass, this time getting totally covered with mud. I didn't even have to put it in to 4 low for the trail. Here are some photos from the top of Elk Mountain: [](https://eecue.com/p/29221/Penelope--Dave-and-Blue-J-on-Elk-Mountai.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/29217/FJ-Cruiser-atop-Elk-Mountain.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/29224/View-from-Elk-Mountain.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/29222/FJ-Cruiser-and-Repeater-atop-Elk-Mountai.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/29223/View-from-Elk-Mountain.html) You can find the rest in [my gallery](http://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1475-1-Elk_Mountain.html).
