Topic of Discussion Gooney Bird Rock and luck

[Hickey]

A few friends of mine have recently brought up some scandalous ideas about driving over the toes of Gooney Bird Rock. Some are saying it brings good luck, and some are saying bad luck. What say ye?

I remember having this discussion many years ago with Chris (yellowbronco). I can't remember what the consensus was.

I did just that on a Friday the 13th nonetheless, and barely lived to tell the tale!
Mercury may have also been in retrograde. I can't be sure.
YMMV

I've heard alot of people say it's good luck.

First time my dad and I ran Gold Bar Rim back in ‘93 during EJS our leader, Bob Castaldo, told us it was good luck.

Good luck no Jeep breakage anytime I've done gone over the toes. Last time we went past the dune buggy that didn't sheared a woodruff keyway on the crank pulley... If that ain't bad luck for skipping over the toes nothing is.

I was always told good luck. However, I have seen a rig or two flopped on their side from running a little too high.

I have been wishing good luck from gooney for many years, nice post Hick,

I'm all for it, but if you don't give the thank you drive, you'll have breakage the next day, or on the way back to camp. Happened to 2 of my pals last time on MM.

Good luck

First time we took my Jeep down to Moab we had no breakage and we drove over it. No Problems and No breakage.

Last time we went down (proposal trip) I don't believe we went over the Toe.... Front differential gave up the ghost and began the plethora of Problems I had last year..... I think it's good luck.

Correct me if I'm wrong @Hickey... I just need something other to blame besides my own vehicle incompetence....

Does that mean she said yes?

 

[Hickey]

Does that mean she said yes?

I hope so.

 

[BlackSheep]

it looks like there is a strong vote for Gooney Bird to be the next IPA from Bewilder Brewing, @Cody

 

[Hickey]

I edited the poll, so you can go back and for for more than one choice.

 

[Cody]

Does it have to be an ipa?

 

[Hickey]

Does it have to be an ipa?

No, I give you complete artistic license.

 

[Cody]

Let's make something happen then

Make a big, nasty "stout" and call it Proving Grounds?
