Bronco Canyon THIS Sat.
Anyone wanna hit this run up again, THIS Saturday?
Short notice, sort of an impromptu (sp?) thing, but anyway...LETS DO IT!
I talked with Rusty Dan about it a couple of weeks ago, and he contacted me about it a couple of days ago.
Im really looking forward to testing out the new gear up front before Barrett Lake!
Who's in?

I'd like to get an early start so at least part of the trip will be cool.

Pick a time, if nobody else is going we can meet at your house and go in from the water tank road.
 Even if anybody else is going we can meet at the round about above Damonte Ranch HS and start from there.

I'll bring a sandwich or something.
If we have time maybe we'll hike the upper section to see where the rock buggies play.

Yeah sure, "I'd love to go but I'm working on my rig." 
Pansey, you couldn't do a real trail, like Fordyce or something.
Oh wait, nevermind.

Lets say 830 at my place.
Split the difference, eh!?
Sounds good on hiking up the trail a ways!

I would have to if I would have seen it. I was checking out some pictures of Bronco Canyon on some reno forum and it looked kick ass. I'll hit that up with you guys next time.

UMMMMM...yeah....
We bailed on it.  With only 2 rigs (a 62 and a 40), we decided that it wouldnt be the smartest idea to roll it, in case one of the two of us broke in there. Once youre committed in there, YOURE COMMITTED with no place to turn around!
Dan didnt feel confortable spotting me, and were were both concerned about a breakage and would really like to have a shawn or jack along for BOTH operations.
We walked the whole run and its a NASTY motha. I dont think there was a dirt spot in it.
Soooo big D. When we can get some others on board, well let you know!
I honsetly think I could have made it, but there are s few spots off the top of my head that I would have needed some really good spotting.
The pinch rock that Alvaro got hung up on....my hats OFF to him, cuz theres NO WAY id have tried that line.
Its a diff/ drive shaft KILLER for sure in there!
Still really wanna try it though. Id feel pretty good if I made it through!

I don't know if it was my imagination or not but it looks like things were a lot more torn up than last time.
It was a good day anyway.

No way out to save face here. That much time off would need some pre-planning at work.
It sounds like a cop out but there it is.
BTW I really am putting Dusy on the schedule for next year, even if it means missing a couple of other trips.

What did you end up going with big D?
That WAS the knuckle re-enforcement, correct?
BTW, a couple of weeks is Barrett Lake!
