Thanks to Rising Sun and especially the CM Comittee. I think the event has grown and lot and the management of the event was excellent. Being a trail leader and issued a Satelite Phone was probably a first on any organized TLCA events and much appreciated. It makes the worries of the unforseen in the back country a lot less.

X2 on the CM committee. It really is a top shelf event.
Small correction on the sat phone 'first' Thanks to our generous sponsors, River Shiver has been able to outfit our leaders with Sat phones every year that the event has been TLCA sanctioned.
Nice to see the new expedition rig performing well and finishing the event unscathed. You know who to call when you are ready for the cold weather testing.

switching to skinnier tires (now 10.5) helped with streetability as well; this truck doesn't see much mud, so flotation was not needed.
Michael says hello as well, thanks again for all your help; if you'll have us, we'll wheel with you guys again anytime

Snook took some video. I dropped him off at the top and he went at it. I believe Cougar Freak took some pics. I was having too much fun to worry about a camera.

Here are some quick low-res videos of Wagoneer, LexusBen, and Bobzookie driving down the wedgie at Poison Spider.
Also VoodooGirl driving her FJ up an obstacle on Fins & Things.
And you gotta see Semlin test every piece of armor on his truck as he tackles the waterfall at the end of Kane Creek... well done, Semlin!! and sweet bumper, Luke!
Also be sure to check out Wes' line up that waterfall.
edit: last one, here's CruiserDan making his way down wipeout hill.

I don't know who needed a change of clothes more, Sam or myself. When he drove up clean, on the video I took, I said "Oh my god" I guess in disbelief. If I hadn't been so shaken I would have used my favorite phrase "F... me, he made it"!!!!

That last pic of me also has Romer's Other Daughter (i think thats the right one) driving at the bottom. She did awesome.
Its also good to see the pics of me getting stuck. Incidently, Christo's 85 is also driving that exact same spot where my bumper got ripped off. He obviously has a bit more skill than I.
Great time, i'll see if i can put up a few pics.

Here is two more from Thursday. Playing in the Hot tubs on Hell's Revege, first Jason, then Ken. Ken had some carb problems and we got quite a bit of excitement when his engine caught on fire as he rolled back into the tub. (flying fire extinguishers)

OK, Last posting. This first picture is us tring to repair a broken oil pressure sending unit line that blew out while trying widowmaker. If you look at the hood you can see the smoke stains from the fire in the Hot tub. Thanks to Neil frrom Rising Sun for the use of his clean-up kit. The second shot is just a flexy poser pic taken down by the sand dunes at Behind the Rocks. Thanks everyone for a great time.
