April 2012 monthly trail run

[murf]

The "Blazer guy had his truck saved from going down the steep slope by a tree/bush on his RF tire. You cant tell from the picture but there was a decent drop off.

The Meat wagon saved his Bacon!

I want to aplologize to the group, the 2 guys that I brought with me(The Blazer and the red mini) are guys I work with and thought they could handle a adult outing. Obviously not. I was on them about profanity around the kids, and reminded them countless times to keep an eye on the guy behind them. I even came to a stop, got out and told them as I waited for the guys behind them. Then 1/2 hour before everyone packed up to leave they decided to head up further towards the mill, and didnt make it back out till we all were down the trail a bit. Thank God we were going slow for them to catch up. Im gonna chalk this one up as lesson learned, they can go find a Jeep-like crowd but they arent gonna be joining me or us again, thats for sure. Sorry again.

Wow, if Shannon is calling you childish, you got issues.

Wow. That trip was absolutely amazing (especially for a noob like me My whole family had a blast. Stunning views, crazy obstacles I never would have thought we could traverse (especially stock.. thanks Phil.. lol). We are definitely "hooked" and are looking forward to the next run.
Also, thanks to all those who gave me a jump start (battery died hard without warning)... And to those who lent me their air pump. I think my first mod will have to be an optima... or 2. lol.

just a few pics of the jump start at the air down spot Heidi (aka Spotter) nicknamed natez as "Breakdown"

That reminds me of the time I came over a rise and had an M-1 tank coming straight at me. That was the ultimate GTFO.:whoops:

Here is a link from the Roadrunner4wheelers Martinez Cabin Trip Report from 2002. There are pictures toward the end of some guy named Phil's FJ40, actually wheeling in 2002. ;p

Great pics, great time, and as usual I was on my own schedule. This time I had a reasonable excuse, being Sam's schedule. Our early departure allowed us to witness this bit of Jeep comedy:
