I meant to have all of us introduce ourselves at the driver's meeting, name, MUD name, and truck, but I was too cold, and forgot. :doh:

Soooo, I'll start.

I'm Greg, and was leading the group in my 1990 HDJ81, along with Gary, @shmukster who was my passenger/trail navigator
 
Well Sunday morning and back in the groove...... thought I'd show what trails we traversed in case anyone is interested. This was as you know advertised as a green trail ride but we did slip two short blue sections into the mix. We got out of the staging area a bit after nine, and headed down behind the old entrance, down trail to the old staging area then down past Jotters' The water puddle near Jotters was mid-grille in depth lotsa water there. Up above the hill climbs we turned left into the park on C and then went up onto the pole line. Took that up over the top and down H into the bottom part. We decided to do a short drop on 12A, a blue, where a few of the trucks sustained some side step damage. On J then down across 11 then did (I think) 18, the one with all the switchbacks and water holes. From there we exited onto 11 and took that all the way around the bottom of the park then up onto the power line. That was a nice climb, we ran into two jeeps coming DOWN the power line- never saw anyone going down on that trial. At the top of the power line we stopped for a bite.
After that we went back up onto the pole line, then did trail P and headed back to the staging area. It was about 1PM at that point and two of the crew decided to head out. Another Toyota joined us to make eleven trucks and we headed across the road onto the northeast property. ON the NE side (free now since Rausch raised their rates) we took N1 then onto N2 (blue) down to X1. Real nice ride down along I-81. Then grabbed N2 and N3 and headed up T6 where we did a few of the hills on Tip Top. The 40 unfortunately pushed a pair of big rocks down the hill and got hung up on them. Chris Cass pulled them out with a strap and off we went. Heading back to the exit we took 40 across the pipeline to T2, then left on N2, , left on X4 to X1, then N4 to N1 to the exit. Crossed the road and headed to the air up station.
All in all it was a very good day. The 40 lost front wheel drive (keep us posted what you find!) otherwise would have been able to drive off those two big rocks. Weather was a s good as you can expect in January. There weren't too many vehicles in the park I'd guess maybe forty jeeps, a few Nissans, and our Toyotas. It was good to see Vince out and about in his very capable Lexus. I'd have to say everyone had a good time and those who did get a little damage were pretty darn good about it. Looking forward to the next green ride!!!!
 
I am Kris and was mostly a passenger yesterday while Kass @kasassy drove. She got a little taste of the blue trails, loved it, and wants to do harder trails.

For the first time I looked at the map the entire time and knew where we were. Hoping to start pitching in more since the same guys lead every time. Lots of pics but I'll start out with @VBRoamer

Take note of the crunchy step on pass side. Now you have the perfect excuse to get sliders, you're welcome
