think ill try to join u guys coming from gunny what time u plan oon being at the trail or johnson village?
 
So far on this trip I've heard it's Justin, Rodney, Chuck, Mike, Ajax1, Trevor (always a maybe :D) and myself. Going to be a good time, If you're on the fence jump over it and come on out. Last time to run a good trail before the snow sets in.

I had a complete U-joint meltdown and wrecked my driveshaft on the way home from the meeting the other night, so I was in the garage until midnight building a new one. Justin and I were talking about cruising down Friday night and camping out at Brown's creek area. I'll post up before the end of the day what we're going to do.
 
We decided to roll with everyone from woodland park. Calendar says meet at 7:30 leave at 8. Picking Justin up in divide at 8:15, I assume chuck will be in divide too. Ajax, we will probably be at gunsmoke around 10:45 ish. Are you a HAM? We'll. Be on 146.460.

We had Luke, Justin, Rodney, Mike and myself on trial run. When we arrived at the parking lot a buggy was heading to Carnage and there was five trailers in the parking lot. We decided to head up to the exit of Carnage and walk down to see the buggies on Carnage. We meet up with the group on Carnage at the V notch. Two Toyota rigs were first, both had to winch to get up to the V notch. Next a jeep came up and made it without winching. The next jeep spent what seemed like an hour trying to up to the V notch and we headed back up to work our way around Chinaman's. It was dark by the time we made it back to the parking lot. We headed up to the entrance of Carnage. Mike, Luke and Chuck drove the entrance and up the trail just a little bit and turned around since it was very dark at this point. I was having problems stopping when trying to line up to drive out the exit. We could see some fluid on the ground but after looking under the hood and under the cruiser we didn't see any problem. Once I made it out the exit and stopped I looked around and saw that the rear caliper mount had been busted off and the caliper was rapping around the axle. We removed the caliper and broken mount. Well it actually fell off when we took to the wheel off. After going through a hand full of cheap tie wraps we managed to get the brake line with the vise grip clamped to the line secured so we could get on road and heading home.

Justin was saying his rear driveline was making lots of noise on the way home but I don't know what the problem ended up being.
 
I only managed to get pictures of my own rig, I'll see if i can get some from Rodney, his boy Adam was taking a lot of pictures.

Great update! I wish I could have made it! I was snow bashing and pulling out rednecks trying to follow my tracks all last week but the good thing is between the 4 of us, 2 got bulls!
