LIVE from Cruise Moab!!

From the Vendor pics it looks like the Overnight crew made it back OK since I see Kurt and also Paul May's 100 series in the shot.

Any word on how the overnighter went?

KEEP IT UP WOODY!

Hey, any more details on the 80 and 100 breakage?

What trail and what were they doing that caused it?

Greg Miller junked a CV and Robbie did in a steering box....don't know the trail offhand, but 'suspect' both were previously weakened

Red Fox had a rough day with u-joints and birfields, Larry did in a FJC rear diff yesterday, and Kula backflipped his Twisted rig off the Helldorado waterfall....

and yet, it took a minitruck rollover on Elephant to win the 'carnage' award

Robbie was leading Golden Spike. I was supposed to be on that run, but we got in so late Wed that I didn't get tech inspected until Thu morn and with the morning logistics of four kids plus tech inspection we missed Spike's early meeting time by almost 40 minutes.

We hauled up PSM to catch the group figuring we had the PSM run behind us, got within eyesight (but apparently not CB range) near the junction of PSM and GS, but then it started snowing and we got turned around and ended up on the PSM loop, and then running backwards on Spike, and ultimately bailed the attempt and ran with the PSM group, which was extremely enjoyable.

I was surprised when I heard an 80 series steering box had broken on the Spike run - I hope everybody got off of Spike safely yesterday as word was they were trying to get a box in from Grand Junction and that was at about 4:00 pm.

Robbie got a steering box, changed it in 45 minutes, and I 'believe' they were off the trail about 1am....

I was tailgunning that run, so I don't have a lot of pictures.
Some more when there's more time to resize. White Rim tomorrow.

But the inclement weather produced some interesting light...

To think I give up the fun of this for real life? I need a new job. It has been to long since I have had some real fun.
