Trail Report

OK I think I finally have time to start a little recap ----

I rolled out of the drive at 2:00 pm Friday with my buddy Jon following behind us . made it to Crittenton (sp?) and I blew a trailer tire :mad: , short stop to put spare on and got past by Brody , we stopped at a Wally world and got a new tire and then put the hammer down . we rolled into camp around 6:00 and waiting on us was Brody , Shawn and Kelly .
we had the kids running brody's massive 20" bushhog clearing the tall grass. We set camp up and waited for Bear, and a few others to show and then gathered a group up for a run. We headed down the main trail towards pink rock , got to the bottom of the stair steps and a TG ( friend of Bear ) in a CJ had a melt down and lost his head lights. We hard wired the lights and rolled on . half way up transmission the same CJ twisted a steering link . We made a quick fix and headed back for camp . On the way back to camp we ran into the Yota group . While the rest of the group headed for camp I turned around and took the yota's on to Pink Rock and then back . We came up on the CJ broke and found that the group had gone back to camp to get some parts off of Jon's YJ to get the CJ off the trail. We all waited for the group to get back to the CJ and then all headed for camp for the night.
Sat. morning everyone got a good early start , I rolled out in the second group ( Jeff S. , Brody , Bear , Jon , Ryan C. , Eric ) we headed down Falcons Ridge to the play ground where we ran into the rest of the group. We all left the play ground and took the creek trail out , Shawn ended up breaking off to go meet his brother and we continued on . We ended up heading for School bus and then trying to find the lake ( which we never did ) just before the lake Brody lost his clutch so we headed for camp for repairs. Once back at camp Brody headed for the parts store and everyone got some food in their belly's . I headed into town for fuel ( YES I ran an entire tank out in two runs)---- I think I put over 100 miles on the Jeep on this trip

After belly's were full and Brody had a clutch we headed back out for Triple T and then to Pink rock , once there we dropped down to the 49er so Brody and Jeff could get some fuel and then played on pink rock for a while before heading back to camp . On the way back Brody decided to goto school bus instead and got lost

, Jeff and I loaded up to go fetch but just as we did we got a call from Brody and talked him back to camp.
Sunday morning we all headed for the Water falls and a few of us washed the funk off . From there we headed back up to the main trail to go play on the big shoots. We got to the smaller shoots and started playing and Brody ended up breaking . I think most of us in the group were kind of glad that someone broke ( not that we wanted anyone to break ) but we were completely spent , we put a band aid on brody's rig and headed for camp to call the trip a success.
The trip was great , very little carnage and ALOT of ground traveled , This was the first trip out on the rocks for my new set up and I have to say I was very impressed and at this point I haven't found any damage

I know I'm missing alot of details but I'm sure they will be covered on Monday at the meeting.
