The Samurai’s and the BFJ (Big Fat Jeep) decided it was time to run Upper Helldorado. Gary and Rick were first timers on this trail and I have only been on it once before so we were a bit nervous about the potential carnage. We noticed that someone had knocked over the Helldorado sign which makes NO sense. Either drive around the GateKeeper or go through. Why take your rig up there? Oh well, Jeff said he would fix it during our clean up BFE day.
Anyway, you can see the line up as Jeff drops into the first obstacle.
His drive was uneventful so we are moving on to the “posers”. Gary Lee with a thumbs-up and a nice wheel lift on the Gate Keeper.
Not to be out done, here comes Rick in his Purple Jeep Eater. Too many hams in this group. Sheesh!
To the next obstacle which I heard called High Five. I’m sure this one has multiple names, some I probably cannot list here.
Gary Lee shows a good line.
Redroxx needs to climb a bit higher on the rock to squeeze through, full-width axles you know…..
Bad Cat climbs up with a wave and a flourish!
Rick shows that its no big deal.
Next to the break over rock obstacle. This one really challenges the longer wheel base, more room to get hung up on the old belly pan. Jeff drove it perfectly.
Over EZ is trying to get a tire purchase. No luck! STUCK!
Big old Redroxx is stuck too! Anybody want to give me a push?
Jim started out looking great. Go Jim go!
Oops! Shake that Sami off the rock!
This little Sami is REALLY stuck. The poor tires are just hanging in space. Time for a pull!
Susan makes it MOSTLY unassisted. There might have been a small push that we’ve been unable to verify.
Now to the waterfall. Everyone elected to take a winch.
Although these photos almost look like Gary climbed it.
Here’s the Samurai’s, all in a row. Cute, huh?
