I hope you didn't eat too much, cuz it's time for the wild and crazy Jeep ride!!

Ilya Kharkover smiles as the ride gets underway. Little did everybody know that our drivers were insane ex-soldiers who were kicked out of the army for reckless driving!!

As we climbed the dirt roads higher and higher, we could see the Kinneret and mountains in the distance.

The scenery was beautiful.

See?

The caravan of Jeeps made their way uphill.

At the top, we heard some explanations of the area, and our guide gave us a botany lesson - he showed us a poisonous plant, and then how to eat it....

That's Abe Lenderman taking in the breathtaking scenery.

Yes, that's a real live scorpion we found in some of the ruins during the pit stop. It was less than two inches long. It's probably poisonous, but nobody showed us how to eat it.

Back to the Jeeps!! Leor can't wait to go fast through the mud....

Woo-hoo!!

Yee-haw!!

Bumping across a stream and rocky bed.

They said something about a small river -

I thought we'd CROSS it, not drive up it like a road!!

Splish splash....

Finally, we found the bus... Rabbi Creeger poses with the driver of his Jeep, who had a biblical name from the books of the Prophets; perhaps it was Yoav.
