Pictures from the run today.

Dan did an excellent job of getting a 100 through the rough spots. I chickened out on the rough stuff, that's what I get for bringing the lowrider. I'll try to add a few comments to some of the pictures.

Just some more...

The first picture is Shawn making it look easy.

The next two are of Dan getting the 100 beached. Finally had to use the winch.

Some more...

The first spot is where Dan beached the 100, the ice made things very interesting. Just when you thought the truck would go one way the ice would deny him.

The other Dan getting the 40 into a rock and well another rock...and getting a little rim damage. It still held air.

 

[locrwln1]

Almost done.

Shawn and Mack working it through the last of the hard spots.

The last ones.

Rick and Dan going through the same spot. Sorry I didn't get anymore pictures, I was too busy spotting. Hopefully the other pictures that were taken, will be posted.

Thanks for a great run guys.

Dan's 100 really didn't get damaged that we could tell. Now that might change once he gets under it and gives it a closer look.

I chickened out before I got the good stuff. I helped get everyone through and turned around, went the back way and met them at the summit.

It would be a great trial run trail when you do get it buttoned up. Would have liked for you to be there.

Ok...great run! Thanks Jack for the qual spotting (et al) and thanks to everyone for piling rocks . I went to the $.25 car wash...and then home where I rolled the creeper from end to end: No carnage (other than a little less paint on the sliders and my rear bumper ). The sliders did their job.

I'm glad I ran up the creek...I have been wondering how it would do on this type of trail...and considering it's such a limo/pig rig I am pretty happy with how it went. It sure would be nice, for runs like this one, to have 4" lift...

Yeh...a little less ice would have made it different.

Looks like it was a good day. We so wanted to be there.

It's pretty impressive seeing what a stock 40 can do.
And Dan did a stellar job with his 100.

The day wasen't a total waste for us we took the new Cruiser for a little run up to Hells Flat after we got home.

Joanne was looking at the pictures and she want to do the trail in our 40. Maybe we can get another run in this area together soon?

Edit: Good to see Rick came out from under his rock to join the crew.

Well how did you like the 100 on your little run?

I think it would be a great run for Kieth when he gets everything finalized on the 62.

I'm game...to stack rocks

I'm pissed I couldn't go on this one with you guys. That trail looks awesome. I had to take the SAT's at Reed High School. We should definitely do another run on that loop sometime.

Jack,
That pic looks like someone caught you with your hand in the cookie jar....CLASSIC!
