There was a group of 9 that hit snakes on Saturday. Me in a yota, Greg in a tacoma, Z in a TJ rubicon, Luke in a 4runner, Eddy in a TJ, Smitty in a XJ, His buddy in another XJ, Davy in a tube buggy and Rick & hunter in a yota buggy. It was a little windy in the parking lot, but ended up being super sunny all day and calm conditions in the actual canyon. From my perspective it was a lot dryer conditions than the previous two weekends. There was def a decent amount of mud on the trail and some snow present up the constrictor trail. Our core group encoiuntered quite a few side by sides, quads and an additional xj out on the trail that day. No one made it up Waynes World or Eagles Nest as there was just not enough traction with the muddy conditions. The carnage included me with a broken rear driveshaft (installed spare to finish the trail), my buddy luke's radiator got punctured from one of his front pullys, Smitty with a valve stem failure and Eddy with a front control arm bracket being ripped off his TJ's frame. I gathered that eveyone had a great time and got off the trail safely.
What I liked the most about this run was thinking back to a year ago when I moved and knew NO ONE.... everyone on the run this past satruday were people I met thru RME one way or another. Just want to say thanks for the opertunity to wheel with ya'll again!
I met Rick via the Noob Night run, I Met Luke and Eddy at Snakes & joined an offroad group with them, I met Greg at the 1st training day out at Miller and then subsequently met Z thru Greg up AFC because we had so much fun at the Training Day/Snakes After run. I met Davy whos affiliated with ALLJEEP.com at the 2nd Training day at Miller when he did the presentation on winter camping. (He also helped a buddy of mine thru a jam at WOTR 2012 with the "fix it booth"). It was the first time I met Tim aka Smitty and his other buddy (forgot his name), we hit it off well and since it was his first time on the trail we went slow and his rig did great. Our group was able to take him all the way thru constrictor which is a pretty big feat the first time on the trail with 33's and limited slip up front (let alone in FEB)!!!
