Pritchett Canyon....

[Milner]

Thanks Cody....I needed a giggle today....

As for the time to RP I will defend you on that (not like you need it) I too have done it in a similar time frame. With just 3 vehicles and no traffic, and drivers that know the trail, it is more than possible....Yes, the road out can be down in about a half hour....saw it done, I was about 5-10 minutes behind. Hawkins is NUTS

 

[Cody]

You don't already do that?

No. Only part of it. Perhaps you missed the qualifier about me typing rather fastily?

Really, I typed all of that just to get a Puff the Magic Dragon reference in. I bet it's the first ever unless Brett has unleashed it in reference to his favorite hobby.

 

[Brett]

I wouldn't ever take away your thunder by using the reference prior to you.

I've been parking lot to end in 1hour 20 minutes, in the old XJ sporting 37s. My last trip to Moab in that rig. That was up White Knuckle, over to Nose Dive and Up Chuck, then the county road out.

Did RK, RP, and WK in one shot.

was it scary?

"Scary? Scary? **** no. I'm the professor. Recognize"

80 minutes is good time for that run. Thats covering some ground.

 

[Bart]

PULEASE.
No, was by myself and had some time to kill and decided to see how far up Pritchett I could make it, got to the top of Yellow Hill much fast than anticipated, and decided to head on through.

 

[Gravy]

so when are we going to have a RME pritchett run? April?

 

[RockMonkey]

...really are there that many people competing in rockcrawling? I think i only know 2...

3 former UROC or ARCA drivers have posted on the last two pages of this thread alone...

Oh snap!

Well, if Pritchett leaves you under whelmed, try running it at night and then turning around and coming down yellow and axle hill. That gives one a bit of a jolt...

I never said it was a lame trail, just that it is no where near the level of the hype

 

[Meat_]

If we could all only be like you

I've been wheeling over 20 years and anyone that tells me Pritchett doesn't get their adrenaline up is full of it

I guess I'm full of it then.

 

[Crinco]

For the record, Pritchett is much harder this year than it was last. So is Upper Hellderado. But that's why we go there, right?

 

[GOAT]

F that trail.

Meat knows why:greg:

..And much harder than the year before I think it deserves every bit of it's 8 rating that it has now.

We just ran it from start to WK hill in just over an hour. It was me and another guy (Toy buggy). We didn't stop and there was no traffic. We each had difficulty on RK and AH, otherwise it was non stop. Our plan was to run it and then BTHR's backwards, but we were stopped by a roll over on WKH - poor girl almost killed her dad (he joked about her trying to take him out while waiting on the paramedics) It was my first time to see life flight come in and get someone. ...Sombering...

 

[cannoncrawler]

hope he is O.K!

can't wait to run this trail again this fall!!!

 

[notajeep]

I will be running it tomorrow, I hope that guy is ok.

 

[soda blaster]

Did another one roll today I know friday that yellow tj rolled in our group with the safari. That was crazy for sure. She went end over the long way. I will be reinforcing my roll cage when we get home.

That's absolutely true. It's really all just a matter of perspective, like everything.

For the record, Pritchett is much harder this year than it was last. So is Upper Hellderado.

The only spot that was noticably worse in my opinion was "Chewy" the hill. But we run that trail on a fairly regular basis, so it's entirely possible that I just haven't noticed the changes.

Now you want to talk about drastic changes, that would definitely be Upper Helldorado. Yikes, the Gatekeeper has gotten nasty.

 

[yellowbronco]

PULEASE.

Hey Bart, we missed you on our night run on Pritchett, it was fun, even without you!!

Now you want to talk about drastic changes, that would definitely be Upper Helldorado. Yikes, the Gatekeeper has gotten nasty.

No shite!

 

[notajeep]

I ran upper yesterday and the gate keeper was deffinatly more tore up than last year at this time. I don't know that I would try to take the toyota through it like that. But the buggy did just fine.
