Well,
We had a blast! what a great day, great weather, great people... such a pleasure to meet fellow Land Rover enthusiasts in Alcaraz.
We arrived at Alcaraz at 9am, a little while after the introductions and greetings, we took off to the mountains.
Funny enough, for being a Land Rover gathering only 3 Land Rovers showed up, my 300Tdi disco, a Td5 Disco and a Td5 Defender 130 (very cool by the way...), the rest were some of those "other" 4x4s :P
All the way to the snack break was smooth with all sorts of terrain to entertain us:
This is the place where La Mancha ends and the Sierra de Alcaraz begins...
My photographer for this trip, working hard (and having quite some fun)
The 130 going up the hill, very nice setup:
Is that snow? we had such a gorgeous day, I didn't expect to see any snow... wait! are we heading that way?
Making new friends, is what Land Rovers is about...

Briefing about the trip, by Elpana, our local guy. Many, many thanks to him for organizing this and sharing his knowledge of the area with us!
Group picture, a bunch of people with a love for nature and exploring our world.
What is this? foam? NO, it's *SNOW*, cool... it's not Shaver Lake Snow Run but it was a lot of fun!!!!
Volcano (the name my daughters gave the 300Tdi) behave great, despite the road tires and no lift (yet)
The white stuff
Static mud concept #1
White stuff...
Here some pictures "borrowed" from dcortesv from the LR club:
What's this? *stuck*? and the best prepared Land Rover non the less with those 36 and a half? mmmmm and that is not a Toyota, is a heavily modified Land Rover pulling the 130 :)
Some serious hole full of snow over there... nothing a little pull can't fix.
Pretty rocks worth checking out
We have just passed some interesting mud puddles on the far end of the trail...
Water falls in Los Batanes...
Then we went for lunch to some local restaurant, good food, great company, some tourism around Alcaraz with visit to the castle ruins and everything.
Overall, a great day, thanks every one and especially to elpana for making this happen.
