It was 10 years ago at least, but i have run a trail down there named 'moonshine'. Could be the same, couldn't really tell from the pictures. Seems most of the names are still the same from years ago, but they sure look like the terrain/line has changed alot on them.

Your trail report and pitures are great 78buford.
Sounds like a great weekend was had by all

KargoMaster · 11-12-2009, 07:08 PM

Moonshine was shut down last I heard...

I think he's just commenting on the feel of the obstacle from the pics... having been to both in real life... not so much. IMO

Thanks for editing that Boomhauer, saved me the trouble.

Well delivered Roy, well delivered.

Redriverranger · 11-12-2009, 09:31 PM

Yeah, Moonshine is long gone.

So, I'm curious, what ever happened to the guy on 49's and rockwells?......

78Buford · 11-12-2009, 09:36 PM

Thanks guys.

Kargo is correct. Moonshine has been closed for years. I tried Moonshine in 2005 with a sickly 460 engine and the truck was quite a bit heavier. I made it slightly further than others, but no one made it on that date (Easter weekend '05).

While it may look similar, the "upper" Hairpin section is quite a bit wider than Moonshine was. I had a choice of lines on upper Hairpin. When I tried Moonshine in the past (the only time I was able to try), it was tight. I fit, but I didn't have any real choice of lines. It would be nice to try the old Moonshine trail with the current engine and reduced weight that I now have...but that's not in the cards.

So you don't think the trails have changed that much since mid 90's?
It was just a general observation.... having been trail riding there in real life also... just 10 to 15 years ago...

78Buford · 11-12-2009, 09:40 PM

Redriver: I've never met the man...I just heard his name & rig mentioned several times. Mr. Booth said he was the last rig to climb Attention Getter, and someone in our group heard that he could not climb Last Chance (the one that none of us tried this year...because we didn't have any realistic chance of conquering it).

Roy

carwash · 11-12-2009, 10:57 PM

Looks like i need to get back down to Slade soon, and get a tour of Booth's land... looks like the stuff on his side might make it worth the trip.

I heard that it was pretty rough for a while, but that he has climbed it the last two times he was on it. The last time being about a month ago. I heard he broke an extended cab window out on the tree as part of the battle, but was victorious.

78Buford · 11-13-2009, 07:40 AM

Well, it's good to "meet" you Casey. ;)

Like any top quality athlete, the high altitude training in the Colorado mountains must have paid off. ;)

Hodgie... Oh no, I'm certain that there's huge changes... :)

I think Carwash was saying that the images of upper Hairpin look much like the former Moonshine... I was just implying (not so clearly) that the two "feel" somewhat different in real life... just opinion.

Summary:

RedRiverRanger is indeed "Casey," but no one knows how his extremely capable white ranger with 60's could be mistaken for "rocks on 49's."

Boomhauer wants to be recognized as making Attention Getter previously... all a moot point as Buford was the last to make it... ;)

78Buford needs some sort of outlet for his literary prowess, for which we're thankful we are recipients...

ps - fixed a few quotes just to make them look "pretty." forgive the edits.

That's funny how things get exaggerated in the wheeling world. By next week, maybe my pile will have grown into a "Gray tube buggy with 5 tons and 54" boggers." For the record, the only tube on mine is square tubing welded to the doors & fenders for crush resistance. Also, if people need to add to the tale, make me out to have sexy hair....and make me out to be well mannered and mature. If those rumors start, I can go back and delete chapter 16 and the belching contest part of the report. Basically do your best to make me out like this guy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRaTe...eature=related

Also, to keep it realistic, change the punch line at the end to say, "I always drink beer, and I prefer Natural Light (if I'm buying).

Redriverranger · 11-13-2009, 09:05 PM

I had a good time with it. I think what probably happened was "Casey was up here last time with some rigs on rocks and 49's" and it evolved to the myth that continues to grow. :o

Now that right there, was good times. Altitude definitely affects performance, even with fuel injection. Hell, the tow rigs were sick, let alone the trail rigs.

at least you 2 had diesels. if they were sick then mine had to have been knocking on death's door on that one hill from hell. 5 miles an hour on the interstate is fun (not)!!!
