Another Great Trip!
What a weekend! Tons of wheeling with a bunch of great people. There
were some bumps and bruises. I took a few straps and handed out a few as
well, but I made it out and drove it home. Only real carnage was front
driveshaft upper U-joints. They gave up the ghost after getting bound up
for a poser shot, go figure. This pic pretty much sums up the trip.
On day one we ran Fault Line, Lower West Rim and Upper West Rim. Fun
first day, hitting a lot of obstacles that challenged me last year. This year
they were a lot more familiar and went smoothly. Even hit a few new ones
including a big double climb that I chickened on last year. I followed up a JK
and 3 stretched TJ’s, all on 40’s. They all I had issues – I just walked it. So
easily that no one got pics – D@MN!!!!. Jim was making everything I was in
his shorty TJ – showing me up. Day ones pics were lost to the camera
Gods, or my wife deleted them.
Jim and I decided that we wanted to push our limits a little so we moved up
to an 8 with John’s Trail. The Army had the two Hummers out running the
trail – kick arse!
EDIT - take a look at the picasa pics. For whatever reason, they seem to
be a lot darker when posted here.
The first set of obstacles – a play area.
Didn’t get this one
But the Hummer did
We dropped into a tight wash next.
That ended in an off camber climb, I got sideways and had to take a strap.
This was the scariest moment of the weekend for me.
Down the other side
And back up
cool obstacle

Jim got wedged in a double undercut that was swallowing 40’s. He winched
out off a SUZUKI!
Here is a good view of the last obstacle.

Then Me
We finished up and headed to the West Rim playground.
Through the ‘narrow’ on the way.
Buggy challenge
Those people are a lot farther away than they look.

Day 3 we toned it down with a 6 on Milts Mile. Our trail leader took us to a great photo op first.
A little dune play and on to the trail.
Here I am trying to break something
Here I am succeeding – after this pose the U-joints started knocking.
Jim’s Jeep was tougher

That was the end of our day, little early, but an easy fix. A few parting shots
Good times as usual and looking forward to next year. Rockaholics put on a great show.
OH YEAH! – Almost forgot, I won a winch in the raffle, XRC8 – sweet!
My wife Put together a slide show as usual, you can thank her for the pics of course.
