Out. IH8WORK.

Actually, I don't hate it, there's just too much of it right now!
 
Add one more to the list. See you guys in the morning.
 
What an awesome day of wheeling! One of the best I remember in a long time… Weather conditions were perfect, it was nice and cool, and all of the trucks and trails were very evenly matched.

Yeah was indeed a very good day on the trails. A little bit of winching here and there butt not enough to make it tiresome. Had seven trucks, Crusha in his 80, Pete and John in their 80 series, Dave in his white Lexus, Rob in the 40, and Brian and Joe in their Tacomas. Got out of the staging area about 9:15, no other full size rigs in the lot at that time. We decided to not cross the road and explore but rather to hit some trails that were new to me. The pipeline construction wasn't too much of a hassle today, most if not all of the taped off intersections that had been previously closed were now open.
We did the little hill climb right outside the parking area, then down the main road, up onto trail 22, across the pipeline then down into the bottom of Barney Rubble. From there we went up snakebite then rambled out trail 55 and did the ridge road that was a lot of fun. From there we went over and did lower Anthracite, then down the back road to the approach to twister, down past the chestnut preserve and out to the culvert trial. It was washed out way worse than it ha been the last time we'd been there. Pete managed to cut a sidewall on one of his 37's and we had to swap his spare onto the truck. From there we went through the long water puddle, past the bucket trail and did another rocky trail ( I forget the name already) and from there out to the lot. Got back to the staging area about 3:45.
We saw a few ATV's and cycles during the day but only one group of jeeps they were out by lower and upper anthracite. The rain held off until we were headed out the main road back to the staging area, thankfully. It was cool and no bugs so that made it very enjoyable. All in all it was a very enjoyable day of wheeling. Can't wait to get back into that far corner of the park again!
 
AWESOME day of wheeling a lot of new trails at Anthracite!

I Think one of the highlights was @JeepinPete busting out his Makita cordless chainsaw to clear a tree that @thegadgetguy would not have been able to fit under due to his roof top tent!

I might need to get one of those...
 
Great wheeling with the club! Thanks for letting us ifs tacos hang with the cruisers. Looking forward to the next outing. Rob, thanks for letting JJ ride in your 40, that thing impressed the hell out of us especially no power steering and no lockers! I will be looking at 255/75/16 Toyo MTs as my next tire after seeing how well they worked on your 40. Greg and Gary you guys rock as trial guides! Overall a very good day of challenging trails. We wheeled RC the next day in tropical rainy wind conditions and it was actually very fun! We did a bunch of blues on the west property and after all the rain they have been getting there were some seriously rutted out areas that required extra attention! I accidentally took the wrong trail and ended up in the milk shake and had to get tugged out. It didn’t look deep but I sank in like a stone. Complicating the recovery was an innocent little stump that decided to nestle in between my sliders and my rear tire. RC was pretty empty with only a few other rigs there and I don’t think we saw another group all day. Good times!

This is a good rock to do a flex inspection on. Yotafun she’s not as tight as when we wheeled together!
