Here we go...We had a good crowd (though some were rowdy): Eric & Brandy in his truggy. Scott Pater w/Matt shotgun in his Sami. Scott & Kim McMahon in a Sami. Scott Armstrong w/Jamie shotgun in his Sami. Dan N. in his Sami. John (lilbluexj) w/Jon (scarface) shotgun in his XJ. Scott & I in my TJ. (Waaayy too many Scott’s.) Saturday we did a portion of the green trail first. Went to the quarry for a bit, did a bunch of stuff there. Then watched Dan try to figure out why his right front tire wouldn’t spin. After that we moved to the orange trail. Lots of great stuff there. Jim rolled in with his rig and Brody rolled in with his sometime around 3pm Saturday afternoon due to some tire issues. Scott Armstrong contributed to afternoon entertainment with an incident on mini dirt bike at camp (see pic).
Looks like we get our first stuck sticker. Got stuck at the end of the green trail on some extremely uncooperative rocks. Thankfully I had a friendly Sami (Armstrong) pull me out (of which I have no doubt I will never hear the end of).
Park closes at 5p. Went to dinner, then went back to camp. Turns out we brought along a redneck for entertainment that kept us all entertained for quite a while. At some point, everyone decided it was way too cold to camp, and decided on motels for the night.
Sunday dawned (though I didn’t see it through the curtains of the motel). Jamie, John, Jon didn’t stick around for the fun. Scott McMahon & Kim rode shotgun with Dan & Armstrong, respectively, due to vehicle. Shortly after we left camp we found a mud bog on the orange trail that grabbed hold of every vehicle but Jim’s (swear that rig looked like it was just doing the back stroke around in the mud) and Pater’s. I think that the majority getting stuck nullifies any stuck sticker awards. Mere words cannot do justice to describe this chain of events of who got stuck, when they were stuck and why the got stuck in the first place (or second in some cases). Come to the meeting, it’ll be worth the trip to hear this. Then more trails, rocks, creeks, sand dunes. All in all, a great time and I’m looking forward to going back. The quarry in itself is worth the trip for me. Rocks are, for me, the only way to play.
End of the run:
McMahon - possible front locker and the rear drive shaft flange
Dan - possible front locker and light on trailer (that’s another story)
Pater - with all his welding skills he created a Lincoln limited slip
Eric – front brake rotor on the Rockwell
John - passenger door
