Well the first round of the Tank Trap wasn't enough, so we put together another. Graham, Evan, Ali and Lawrence all made this a great trip. The Tank Trap is a trail that sould be done as a small group.

The water made it interesting this time

I'll post up some highlights, but here is the album:

His name is Rob but I haven't met him. He was on his way back from Mt. Blanca

Jess and I had a great time. All the water definitely added another dimension to the trail.

And here's a link to some of our pics.

Don't worry, if Ali has his way we will be running this trail every month

That sounds like a plan. Maybe alternate between there and Gordy's.

That's was Ali told me in our phone conversation yesterday--monthly Tank Trap runs!!

It's pretty sad when we think 15 mpg is good. That's what we got in the jeep on that trip.

I would kill for 15mpg.

I am lucky if I get 12mpg on the highway going about 60mph.

Is Beno MIA again...that slacker!

The Tank Trap trail is a good one for honing one's wheeling skills IMO. It offers no death defying stuff and hardly any body damage causing obstacles or pin striping alleys. It does, however, teaches one how to pick the right line and proper wheel placement. It's also a good shake down trail for suspension mods as that trail tweaks the crap out of the suspension. That's the only trail where the rear spring popped out in my 80

Lawrence did a great job of piloting the JK through it all w/o any issues. He proved that a good working suspension coupled with a decent set of 33" M/T tires, a lightweight rig like a Jeep is very trail worthy.

There is some off-camber stuff and the entrance if you go around the pond to the left instead of through the bottom. Another good practice spot.
