Pics are up. Thank my neighbor if he got you and you like it. Was his first time wheeling, and he loved it. He and his daughter both came with me, and they had a great time. Was a pretty fun work weekend. Well, at the least the group I was in didn't get hit too awful hard. I wish I would have went back on Sunday; I had planned on skiing, but it was really warm so the slopes were a bit slushy and it rained. So we went to the Blue Mountain brewery instead. s47.photobucket.com/albums/f193/kfromme/ORWW%202-16-08/

Glad to hear they had fun, Keith. I ended up coming back Saturday evening so I could try and diagnose some issues today. I was fearing the worst, but it turned out to be something else. I just have to replace at least one sensor, maybe two. Can't complain for a 21-year old truck and it's just now having sensors fail for the first time, as far as I know of. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera with me... just wished there were more pics of my junk in that collection ;D Thanks again for the assistance when I couldn't get over a few spots... at least I made it up the one long hill on one attempt and up CJ-5 hill on the third attempt. It was a good trip and am glad I went. Can't wait to go back out there again, hopefully, a little better equipped ;D

There's a couple videos I've uploaded, and I have some more too. I will add them a little at a time. There might even be one of Mike D. pushing back the 300 lb paver stone that took Tony and Craig about 15 minutes to winch in place earlier.

We had a good time this weekend. Everything came back in 1 piece.
The only issue is that fact that my Butt hurts. I went to the emergency room last night and they checked it and said they didn't think it was broke. Gave me some T3 and sent me home. They didn't want to do an x-ray on it yet because of the amount of radiation they have to use to get a good pic. I have to give it a few days and see if the pain lightens up at all. If it doesn't then they will send me out to get an x-ray.
For those of you that didn't come back for Sunday i had an encounter with a tree top. The dismount was impressive to say the least. Thats how my butt got hurt.

Keith, had I known I'd of called you to come and join my son and I wheeling at Crozet Sunday. A day of wheeling was his birthday present plus my FJ40 was still there. We had the whole place to ourselves!! Highlight came at the end of the day, he put his truck on it's side against a tree. Fran

We also has a great time. Good weather & good wheeling & no damage.(other than the 3ft rip in the top, but that happened on 64). Tony I didn't know you took a fall. Details?

Many thanks to all those who turned out and got the job done so quickly! By mid afternoon, all but 1 task was complete - THANKS AGAIN! On Sunday morning, the last bit of work was completed, which left us to "recheck" some of the trails again. The skies opened up with a teasthingy of rain while we we on Bob's Creek trail. The lower rocks got slick real quick! Tony, should you be using all these phrases at one time? "had a good time this weekend" "my Butt hurts" "because of the amount of radiation they have to use to get a good pic" I hope you feel better. To Mr. Boswell(?) who called my house Friday evening about going to Oak Ridge. Sorry I missed your call, but we had hit the road around 6 pm. And just to let everyone know, the Boucher's still live in the 90s and do not have caller ID. So leave your number so we can call you back.

You were over playing by the big rocks while we were clearing the easy trail. There was half a tree hanging down and since Ben couldn't get it to come down i tried. It came down and it came down a little faster than expected. I did a few quick steps backward and hooked my foot on something and fell backwards down the hill. I didn't put my hand done because i didn't want to destroy my shoulder so i took the hit on my rear. Had it been a normal spot it would have been cool but, i got a big log right across my tail bone. So i got to experience a whole new feeling of pain when i finally sat down in the jeep to move it to the top of the bypass.
Skinny rock trail was fun but, every time i hit a big bump it shot pain across my rear.
The 3 hour trip back was a nice ride also.
Yeah Chris it does sound a little funny. But, it's all good. I just have to sit easy for a while. As long as it is good by the wheel in i am good.
Cant mis that barrel of fun.
Tony

I was going to say that Tony now gives a new meaning to the phrase "butt hurt" ;D Sorry to hear about your fall, though, all joking and poking aside. Didn't anyone else take pictures? Or was everyone too busy "checking and re-checking trails" to take any? I know I saw more cameras out there besides Keith's neighbor's....

After witnessing Tony playing with the tree, Which was rather funny I might add its no wonder his butt hurts. At least it wasn't because of a Brokeback Mountain episode.
Russ ;D ;D ;D ;D
