That's all the pictures I have. Everything else is video, I'll try to post the good ones to youtube.
Did anyone take pics of the rest of the trail? By the time we recovered Rich it was after 9pm and getting dark, Cam had no alternator or winch, Kenny's winch wasn't working, then Tim's truck...
I don't have any pics of the next section but that's where I blew up my hub and Cam blew a coolant line. After that Rich began his parade of carnage that began with him breaking both a front and a rear chromoly axle... at the same time...
These two pics are of the first winch line, where...
Both of these pics are the beginning of the really hard part of rail trail. I almost endo'd coming down this really steep rocky drop off last year. This year the buggy is much better balanced thanks to the re-distribution of weight. (rear mounted radiator, winch moved back a foot, lighter...

3 - exploded battery terminal on said odyssey
First pic is Tim on the same obstacle that flopped Kenny. The next two are Rich crossing the birm where Cam broke his first birfield on the "optional line"...

Who's coming update:
Todd and Miller are not going to be able to make it, I assume this means that Pete Brown (who I think was riding with them) will not be there either.
Scott Simmons will not be coming.
Let the attrition begin...
He's not kidding. I cut out more after those pics were taken. All said I think I cut out 7 feet worth of frame. It's not as cool as it was before, but it's 850lbs lighter... now to put it back together... when are we leaving Tim(2)?
