Northern Utah REALLY quick Rattlesnake run this Friday night, 6/17/13

[sixstringsteve]

I'm trying to sneak in a quick run through rattlesnake before our annual Fathers and Sons campout. My friend and his son have been wanting to go crawling with me, and since we're camping close by, I figured it'd be a good time to hit rattlesnake.

It's going to be a quick trip, maybe 20-30 min in and out. I'd be happy to play trail guide for anyone who has never run these trails before. I'm just going to run rattlesnake, go up the tailings, look at the jeep in the hole, then exit via sunshine canyon. Post up if you want to come.

Meet @ trailhead at 6:45 PM Friday night, or the 4-corners chevron at 6 PM.

look at the jeep in the hole, .

The WHAT?

 

[sixstringsteve]

The Jeep at the bottom of the mine shaft (well, what's left of it).

 

[Tee]

Huh, thats interesting.
We are racing tomarrow night, otherwise I would like to check this out!

The WHAT?

lol - at the top of the giant tailings piles between the end of Rattlesnake and Wayne's World, there's a couple mine shafts. At the bottom of one is a old Jeep.

 

[UNSTUCK]

I'm up for this. Can we start a bit earlier though? I think I would want to stay a bit longer and play around out there.

 

[sixstringsteve]

You're welcome to start earlier and maybe we'll catch up with you. I can't be there 'till 6:45 (I work 'till 5:30 and I still have to pack).


My rig isn't particularly built, so I'll be bypassing the big stuff. I just want to give them a little taste of what rock crawling is like. We wouldn't mind slowing the pace down a little if we have a small group and watching you do the hard stuff.

 

[UNSTUCK]

That works. I'll meet you at chevron at 6pm.

 

[TJDukit]

Wish I could make it.

 

[193kyle]

I might be able to join you. I'll keep you posted.

 

[Maverick]

Sounds fun, just close enough that maybe we don't take the trailer.

man, if my wife wasn't going to be up in park city doing a photo shoot I would be all over this.

[h=2]REALLY quick Rattlesnake run this Friday night, 6/17/13[/h]

Just to point out this Friday is not 6/17/13

Wish my truck was done

Sounds like a good time, I'm in. I'll meet at chevron.

Fun trail ride, fun group. Thanks for getting me out on the trail.

Constrictor rocks got really slick with the rain.

Really fun to wheel with my kid in his Jeep.

Driving the Jeep to/from was fun and different...but SO prefer towing it, both for the nice (quiet) ride and for the chance to chat about the experience. Also, the drive out and home seemed way longer in the Jeep this time.

 

[Rock Taco]

Any pictures for those of us looking for a fix?

 

[sixstringsteve]

These are the only two I got. Great trip guys, I had a blast.

 

[Kevin B.]

Good looking rig. Whose is the drab minitruck?

 

[sixstringsteve]

the tan mini is 4x4life's friend. He is a really good driver. I was surprised he didn't have 4.7's, because he sure drove like he did.

 

[THSDragoon]

i agree. this was a fun trip. i got a few pics myself, and here they are:






sorry for the bad quality, but that is the only way that i could make them fit
