Willow Springs Trip Report.....12/16/06

[Sean K.]

I'm hoping BMAN, offroader5 and goodtimes will post up some pics from today.

Good turn out....10 vehicles. Weather was perfect. Trail was Willow Springs. Not much of note really happened. Pics will tell the story better than I can. Pretty much ran "little Moab" first, then went down the wash towards the lake. No major problems or breakage to report. Started about 9:30 am and was done around 4 or so.

Steve Smith, Randy (aka Zombie) and Blake Jackson from the old Zr2.com site wanted me to tell Branden, John and Brian "Hi". I forgot when I saw ya....sorry.


We have like 70 something pics and I think about 20 minutes of video. Probably won't post them tonight....it's been a long day. Not sure how to post video yet.....will try and figure it out.

It was good to see you on the trail again Sean. I didn't get home until after 6:00....it was a long drive, glad I turned around when I did. Aside from the lack of brakes, your buggy worked pretty damn good today.

It's aweful perty though....need to scratch that shiny stuff up a bit.

I have a ton of pics, enough that 2 or 3 turned out OK. Gotta resize them and find a host though.

These are shakedown pics for some of my build threads on various sites.....I'll try and get the pics of other vehicles up tomorrow.

Apparently, I did this obstacle in 2WD, b/c I didn't realize the crappy shifting Atlas wasn't in front wheel drive.

Oh, Brian was right Branden.....last time we ran that trail was 2/22/03.

Brian may have been right but he's still had his rig for 4 years not 3. By my math I bought my 40 on Dec 15th 2002 and yesterday was Dec 16th 2006 wich makes 4 years and one day for me, and I know Brian bought his Rubi a month or so before me.

That said, this trail was a good time for sure. It was a blast getting out and wheeling with some of the people who very early on, made me want to be a part of this hobby. Despite the pic that would make you think otherwise, Lucas had a great time too. Hopefully John will get his pics up soon, cause he's got some GOOD ones.

Thanks again Sean for the chance to do some wheelin with ya, now it's time to get out and do some more.

Looks like fun, a bunch of good looking rigs!

Was a great day for wheelin'. Branden and I ended up playing around in little moab on the way out, and I couldn't believe the verticals my rig would climb over there...without lockers That rock is sticky!

Been a while since I have seen this....he was grins all day

HERE are the rest I got...many similiar to Brian's.

Sorry....haven't gotten the wife to load the rest of the pics yet. As soon as she does, I'll post up. BMAN, ya, we definitely will get out again soon. As soon as my POS Dodge is up and running (probably AFTER I get all the issues worked out on the buggy), I'm game for alot of trail running. I can't wait!
