Not to be confused with 'James' who is also "rockreligious" leading the trail...two James' and three Mavericks should keep thing crazy.

Be cool if there was a Rockford or something in there as well?

I know this is short notice but I've been watching this thread and wanting to go. However, it was full and seemed like there was a list of back-ups. Now it seems that you're down to a small group. Is there room for a definite maybe? I have to line up a few things tonight but would meet you at the Maverick in the morning if I can pull it all off. Someone can call me if this works so I don't get turned away after driving down there tomorrow. Thanks. 801-641-7451

I would just come down, looks like our group is half what it was going to be. hitting the trail at 7;30 we should be able to make short work of the trail.

Give me a call so I have someone to call in the morning if I don't get everything worked out here. That way you won"t be wondering if you're waiting on anyone.

Grubbin' up at McD's, see you at Mav in a few.

Beautiful night under the stars.

Rockin' day on the trail, minimal breakage. Punctured irok sidewall for me and noisy cv for rockreligious. Cameras were going all day so i can't wait to see the pics.

 

[sixstringsteve]

James, dave, and company, thank you so much for taking us. We had an absolute blast
The only carnage we had was a torn sidewall on maverick's rig. We were able to plug it up and fill it from time to time
What a fun day. Trio report coming in a few days.

Second on the big thanks to James (Rockreligious) and Dave for leading us through a killer trail. And a place to park my rig & crash last night.

Excellent. Can't wait to read the report. Glad it went well.

It was a great day! Thanks to James and Dave for showing us around. Hopefully you're up for another sometime. Nice to meet so many good people to wheel with. Hopefully get a chance to do it again. Maverick, I don't know why you think you need a new tire, a few more plugs ought to do it. One thing for sure, a few more plugs and there would be more rubber in the hole than on the tread.

 

[Maverick]

No kidding on the tread. Driving it to work has taken a toll on the tires. Priced new ones last night - mid 500's!! Ouch. Also, I noticed you share my disdain for slow Utah county drivers.

trip report is coming in piece by piece. I didn't get much great video, and I don't have time to edit it, so I'm just doing pictures and text this time. Sorry guys, I was too focused on driving, and I didn't get much good footage.
