I would like to say thanks to everyone who made it out to help with the trails this weekend. You all really worked your butts off and we got a lot accomplished even if it did sprinkle on us Sat. morning.
Justin and Jennifer, don't consider that Jeep stock anymore, it is "Trail Rated" now!

Even Russ's Yota got stuck back on the chappel trail at the creek crossing, but so did Tim and Karen and everyone else n the group. I think Russ needs about two more gear combinations. Looking forward to a weekend that it doesn't rain! Chris you need to buy a crystal ball and pick a good date, or have Tommy use those sattelites to track the storms.

Is that the one that i made a really big mud hole in last time i was up there? Oh yeah sorry i couldn't make it this weekend. The Blue jeep wasn't ready and the brown one just isn't getting to the trails anymore. It doesn't need dents in it since it's going byby.

Yes that is the one. Apparently there is actually a stream before you get to the mud hole. And the bypass around the mud hole has a bypass now. I didn't see first hand.

Mike,
Weren't you the one that was high centered on your oil pan or was that someone else?
As for scenic...there are many photo ops of stuck vehicles! And good winching support. I think Tommy got to use his winch on that trail as did many others.
And yes, Tim you were close, but the cable was un-spooled from you winch also.

Ok first I was going slow, except for the sunden nitros boost. The truck was stuck on a pointed bolder between fron axle and the oilpan. Had to high lift to put rocks under the tires, at this point I had a tall rock in front of the rear driver side that i had to bump up and over. thats where I think things went really bad. slamed onto the control arm. Next we had to wench off the rocks , there was the roll factor. Then I hit the tree causing the limb to land on the hood, the crushed piaa light. ( do not buy the quattro set for off roading all plastic) and slight fender damage. I would like to thank all of the help to get me off the rocks. There needs to be a name for those rocks. Mine will not work. f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/lorenzian/album?.tok=ph036xABecbCqGjj&.dir=/cbe0&.src=ph |
