We had set a leve time from Woodfords at 0800, which should put us at the trail head around 0830- 0840 Im guessing!
Cant wait to roll!

Yaesu , Yesir
That means I will have to read on it , I have mine off now because it gives out that double beep thing
I will also be monitering the amador repeater 146.835(-) pl100 (you should be able to hit that over the pass ) if I dont respond on simplex.

Sounds good Ken, if I'm not at the coffee shop when you drive by then I'll be at the the corner of 88 and tabue. Looks like I'm ridin' solo too. . .

Ah man , had a great time ,perfect weather!
It was great to see everyone and meet Shawn.
I dont know, what do you say, it was a very interesting day of wheeling.
I was good to see big D's winch got a work out....... WOW!!
It was a blast working through the challenges and I learned a great deal.
But you guys missed out on the brew's and burgers @ Strawberry Lodge.
Un till next time,,

And the little bartenderess that had a couple too many lines I think...she was talking fast for sure
I have used the recovery gear before...but not to the extent that we did today. GodSamit anyway (Jack...you can only imagine why "Sam" is now my new swear word...has something to do with a totally effed MT/R, another on it's way and Sam's lower shock mount job that I told him I was so worried about and having to use a whole bunch of recovery gear and thank God Shawn was on this run for his INVALUABLE experience...just in case you needed a hint or two
). He gets a visit on Monday 
.I don't think I would want to take a stock height rig through there personally...no matter that Keith did it last year in his stocker (I am totally shocked he got through last year without carnage after seeing it first hand today).
I'll get to the pics later...
I rode along with Keith because I thought it would be a good chance to learn my radio and take a few pictures. I wish I had taken the 40 because this trail was a lot more fun than I was lead to believe. And an extra winch might have come in handy 
, I saw more winching today than I have on any single run before. Most of it not getting rigs unstuck in the normal sense of the word.
No doubt Shawn was the hero of the day. Changing out a sidewall puncture on the downhill side in an off camber situation . YIKES! Shawn had a solution that made it safe.
That poor sap is destined to be the Prez for a long time.
With good reason.
I have a ton of pictures, but they will have to wait until another day to get posted.

I am at a loss as to how to explain today. It's one of those "You had to be there" kind of things.
Brews and burgers, sounds like a good time. Was it a good joint?
The picnic ground at the trail head looks like a great place to stop on atrip over the hill. Right on the river, under the trees sweet.
Some pics before I got real busy 
Ken doesn't know, at this point, how close he will be to the hair on his chinny chin chin a little farther down the trail...
A pinch...
And a nice quad of wagons.
