PismoJim was telling me about his "vertical take off and landing" on the Old Sluice! Nice pix.

Wow...great pics Joel. I assume the 80 is Craig Park?

Looks like he definitely incurred some damage indeed.

What's the story behind the his busted birf?

Thanks everyone for checking out my photos.

Yes that is Craig in the 80. He broke a Knuckle stud, he had a spare so we were back on the trail shortly.

That would be Larry Kitahara, AKA Yodaman. He was featured in 4WD Toyota Owner Magazine and Joel took those pictures as well.

Thats him.
He has a really nice rig there, the exo on that thing is a work of art.

It was nice to meet you Joel.

Great shots. I especially like the shot at the corner coming up Big Sluice with Jeffs mini in the foreground and Mudrak and Jim coming up behind.

That shot kind of typifies the Double Locker run. Everyone took a different line through that section, and unlike most other organized runs, if you get hung up not only will the guy behind you pass you, but he'll probably grin and give you the finger as he goes by...
They're a great group to wheel with.

Craig, you forgot about the wealth of insightful, if only untimely, advice on the Double Locker run, like "Damn, you should have rolled your window down"...

Pssst... Joel -- It's "Mudrak" -- no "C" -- It's actually his last name (Kardum) spelled backwards

At least "Mud Rack" was kind enough to kick all the glass inside the truck so we didn't have to spend another 20 minutes picking diamonds out of the dirt.
