Yep. Everyone could make it through. Next time I'm gonna take some of the harder passes up to the top.

im bummed that someone pulled the rock down... that second ledge wont be there at all by the years end and that makes daniel a boring one way trail.

Yea I was really hoping for more of a challenge. I had more wheel spin on Dutch John

We also took some of the easy paths up. The one section up to the top has 3 ways to go. We stayed far left, which is the easiest. Definitely more of a challenge if we go in the middle next time. Same thing with the rocky decent. Then there's the rocky ledges toward the bottom that we went past (I wanted to play there, but my 3 year old fell asleep, so I couldn't get him out of the car). The sections we took could definitely be done by stockers. Especially now that the 2nd ledge isn't much of a challenge at all anymore.

Good job on bumper and Sliders Mike . Sorry to hear about Axle.

Sorry guys. Lisa has been down & out the last few days with a sinus infection. We will try and get the pic's up soon. Had a great time on this trip and I had a chance to take some harder lines and stretch out my 4Runners legs and use my sliders! On a side note we unfortunately saw the ol gunny go down after trying a pretty steep hard line.

A little late but here are the shots we took from this trip:

The usual suspects:



first obstacle we stopped for pictures on,








Dewey's shelf:

Jeep that almsot flipped:


Jeep that broke his axles first try,




Mike's turn,








Kodak rock,










Had a great time, until next time.

Nice pics Bobby!

This one is for Mike,

Now we can see where he got that nice dent in his bumper....

Dent you must mean on the rear? I just saw some scrapes on the paint of his front. The rear quarter panel popped off and we popped it back on for him. I'm sure the rear corner has some dents though

Yep. The plastic corner edge in the rear was dented in. Probably pops right back out though. Knowing Mike, he probably prefers to keep the dent there

Sweet pics as always. Can't wait to get back out there with the E-locker

yeah the rear bumper corner got pushed in...i still havent pushed it back out...not a huge deal to me...i appreciate the pics...i have come to realize what exactly kept me from getting over it...MY SLIDERS...had i built them with an upward angle i would not have gotten hung up...i am planning on cutting them up and putting an upward angle on them...not a hard thing to do at all...

Sad, no action pictures of the Green Monster. That's what I get for going first.

I'm sorry you feel that way. The reason you have no pictures is cause you bailed on us!

Wow, that hurts.

It seems Bobby has left the best one out by accident. So I will post it for him. Now that is one sweet looking FJ.

I think next time we go out we should take more time for pictures,

i agree...we should take more time...smell the roses ...so to speak...

Yeah I agree as well

If you want a lot of pictures you have to have the photographer lead the group and take the photographer up then come back down and run back up getting pictures taken. Either that or the pictures only come when your at an area where everyone gets out.

Or...the photog needs to be wearing a well broken in pair of walking shoes!
