Meet at gas station ?
Ha, rain kept washing off the proof. Lots of focus this trip on just camping with the kids. Poked around on California and Ophir however. Locked down a secret camp spot I will for sure be revisiting further down the road.
I just got home after a long drive. I have to thank @geanes and @abuck99 for shepherding our group around all week. My improved skills played some part, but you guys made the HiH that wasn't my best one yet.
Also @Austin Hot Shoe, I think my fuel pump got a little grumpy in Iowa. It calmed down, but I was a lot less stressed knowing I had a spare - thanks for the run.

You guys crushed it! @bluecruiser and I kept seeing you guys rolling by on different trails all week. It was great to see.

It looks like it was a great run! I'm sorry that we missed it, and sorry that we delayed you.
(As we were heading out, we discovered last night's dinner didn't seem to agree with my son, and he wasn't real comfortable getting very far from a bathroom.)

You are?
Good to see you again and run trails. I had a blast.
I think your mud handle should change to your tag name: “Battleship”
It's not the best look if the editor has to write the stories..... that's more like a journal than a magazine.

Started a new thread for people to post their videos and photos recapping the last week! I've posted a couple videos so far and will continue uploading all my iPhone photos and videos today. My father took over 1000 photos and he will be working on those this week to pick out all the good ones. I'll upload those as soon as he gets them to me (probably early next week).

Which of the group was this? Getting saved by a Jeep??? What has the world come to? 
What is the condition of Poughkeepsie this year? Making plans, would it be ok for a stock 100 with 33s and AHC, no sliders?
Are there trails which would be dicey for it? See Corkscrew has warnings about washouts making it narrow.

One of our groups had 2 flats (slashed sidewalls) and a rolled bead on Poughkeepsie on a run they did. It's more "rutted" on the section leading up from the Wall past Como to the Cali/Hurricane intersection. Without lockers or a ATRAC (and a good spotter), I'd bypass the Wall. You can run the trail on 33s and AHC, but take your time and pick good lines. Sliders would be super nice IMO.
Thanks @geanes . We will skip The Wall section this year, last year it was raining and only the triple locked 80 made it and that was a bit too exciting, the other 80, my triple locked 100 and the ATRAC 100 all ended up winching. Friend is bringing his mostly stock 100, will make sure I spot him on the tricky stuff.
Be careful on Mineral Creek, there's a washout ( about 1 to`1.5 miles up) at the first mine spot- its little bit skinny right there so stay high and to the left. 3 vehicles have slid off the trail and into a precarious drop off right there in the past month.
