i went back and reread but did not see a time that everyone is arriving. they open at 9 correct and would that be the time ???

WrenchMonkey · 09-01-2010, 11:58 PM

Yep, we shoot for opening at nine. I'm usually early, but somebody's usually late, so we hit the trails when we hit the trails, and not a moment sooner.

Nick, I did manage to get the GPS fired up tonight, so I'll have it Satiddy.

Will anybody recognize "Widowmaker" when and if they see it?

I have no idea. I'd sure like to see em, and get them logged on the gps.

But I definitely want to see them before I make any predictions!

Theres alot of metal and plastic pieces at the bottom of both widowmaker and widowmaker 2. I conquered it in the rain with a YFZ450 yamaha and truggy but my jeep would make the name live up to its self.

Red Dog · 09-03-2010, 04:25 PM

WrenchMonkey's Wisdom of the Day:

It's hard to tell how deep mud is, just by looking at it...

So the NAXJA guys showed up first:

By the time we got all the doors off and stacked on my trailer, it looked like a flea market...

Headed down the trail

With the CORE hangers-on

Until... Trouble!

So we all got out to watch...

As Nick got to work clearing the way and saving the day:

And we were off again.

By the way, look at the damn sexy XJ...

Jerry nosing down the waterfall:

And El Presidente following:

Then heading back up the other side, CattyChick in tow.

With a hulking blue Yota hot on his heels.

Meanwhile, the NAXJA guys were busy breaking stuff...

All you need is a couple of $20 tow hooks; You've even got a big fancy frame to bolt em to!

I've been searching for pics or vids of widowmaker, and finding bupkis.

A few guys claim to have done it on quads and the like, but I guess getting my daily driver up it would be, um, noteworthy? Optimistic? Friggin insane? Or just stupid?

Can't wait to see it...
