got half way up Spanish Fork Canyon and passed up the old guys...Carl(ILean), Braden(RockMonkey), Creighton...met Herzog in Price where all them old guys were meeting....

started off nicely hitting, Hells Revenge backwards from about 2pm till dark. wierdest park was seeing Von's truck....and no Von :( ....also waited for a 2004 Range Rover and an H2 with 20" Dubs to let us pass....then we messed around on those hill climbs by Lions Back for abit. then hit Zack's Pizza, or whatever it's called....then watched a Monster Garge marathon all night....woohoo :rolleyes: most of em were the gay episodes where the suits were taking over the show....and the one with the chicks that fight the whole time....

anyways, got up and left for Behind the Rocks at 8am....funnest trail i've been on so far. loads of fun. the first big rock climb my throttle cable somehow worked itself loose and came off..... :ugh: ...look ma, no go petal!!!!!! :p got that crap fixed and muscled up it....i did all the obsticles except Hummer Hill, and White Knuckle I had a strap on my rear bumper....that drop is longer than my wheelbase, and the Launchpad was way too slick and invited death.....we got our whole party through with no body damage or breakage....considering we had a stock '97 4Runner :) ....

there is nothing like having a locker! and the lower gears..this was the first time i've really wheeled hard with both of them...and holy crap it's great...i took most of the hardest lines i could get away with...

we headed home at 8pm and got to my house at 11:30pm...3 1/2 hours, that's great time...i love trailering :D

pics to come soon...i had lots of near tip overs....best trip so far


**PS......anyone know the guy in the big orange Toyota? i saw him coming out of Pritchett really smashed up and in tow....i guess he endoed in the rock pile on Pritchett....hope all were ok in that one, looked nasty....

First off, you suck & I'm jealous. Second, 'Old Guys'?? :eek: You're asking for a beating...

Sounds like a fun trip. Did the Orange 'Yota have bedliner stuff along the bottom of the truck? If so, I know of him.

just did some research....Scott Sweeney? 99% sure that's the guy...pretty messed up roll from what i saw of the rig afterwards...

i mean "Old Guys" in the most sincere way....like they have lots of wisdom, and knowledge, and....experience..... -_-

i also saw Shawn's rig by the Dees....and saw Cory(Coreshot) in Wendy's...

yeah, the hood and roof were all smashed in....thank goodness for cages...

the 7.5 miles out of Behind the Rocks till the paved road was one of the best parts! we averaged proly around 35-40mph the entire way.....uber baja style, powersliding and fish tailing like crazy in the snowy, muddy stuff....so much fun...

We passed Shawn and Hickey on our way back out. We ran to the top of Yellow hill and back through assbackwards. Let me just say that coming down rockpile is quite interesting. :D

I agree totally. This was my first time turning around after Yellow Hill, and I don't think I'll ever drive out the long way again. :) Besides, it gave us a chance to see all the people who were just getting started on the trail.

Just for a time comparison, two people from our group drove out the "normal" way, while the rest of us went back down. When we got to the entrance, we decided to run over to Moab Rim--went to the top, cruised over into the good ol' Adventure Park to check out some of the Moabrocks obstacles, then mosey'd on back down to the tow rigs. After all that, the guys who took the long way around got there just before us. Nothing like doing an entire extra trail in the same time!
