| It was fun. Definitely the most challenging it s ever been for us. I got to explore the limits of my break over angle a few times too - thanks to peer pressure on one of 'em.... | |

| Have I said that in the past? LOL
Well it works like a charm now, and if for whatever reason it were to fail I would engage it manually | |

| Thanks Brian for letting me use your sweet trailhead tire deflators. I don't know the trail#'s or names but I took the right line on J-Gees Hill but didn't make the video This park is pretty small and some of trails we ran were pretty nasty with the chance to get even nastier. I kissed a small tree with the front passenger side of my bumper. I guess it gives me some more character,lol. With a nice drop off / rock climb on the rear passenger side and a big dip and rock climb on the front drivers side, and a little tree I was inching towards on the front passenger side thinking I might just hit my tire on, I hear Lisa say "your going to hit that tree" not sounding to concerned I was paying more attention to the line I was on not wanting to get off track and then a little thump of the tree. At least I wasn't the only one to hit it. I should of got the ax out and took care of business as well as listened to my wife. It's really just a scratch though. The main concern for me on these trails were the clearance of my front/rear bumpers. Being out there made me wish I had an exo cage and sas with front/rear bumpers and lockers but I think my IFS and ATRAC faired well. We were out there for abut 6 hours but it didn't seem that long. I enjoyed wheeling, hanging out and watching you guys challenge your selves. Until next time. I really miss seeing some of you guys and can't wait for my little guy to get a little bigger so we can come out more often. | |

| Great pics Bob. Did anyone make it up the BIG round rock in the rock garden. I see Austin was pulled up to it | |

| Austin made one attempt at it, and nailed his bumper pretty hard. The whole bottom was a soupy mess, so there wasn't much of a chance to even get started up the rock. | |

| Yeah Austin's bumper had a rough day.
And I am not leading on the February 17th run. |

| Hah! I think I might finally have an idea of how to navigate the park now, so I don't mind leading... | |

| Yeah well I hope so, because I am tired of it. Getting blamed for there not being enough easy trails kind of hit a nerve. I mean anyone who has ridden with me would tell you I am not one to force hard trails on anyone. I like easy trails too, there just aren't hours of them at the Gulches. |

| I wouldn't let that bother you. I think those guys were more nervous than anything else. If you only do the easy trails, you'll be done in an hour. I don't think they realized that. | |

Should I call a whambulace? Maybe I shouldn't offend you, you may go out and do burnouts with MY tires | |

What's to be nervous about? When you have 33" nitto mud grapplers wrapped around a sweet 20" wheel, you are good to go! |

| There is an old house (now office) at the entrance. You have to meet there and sign the waiver. |

Depending on the weather, I may camp. But more than likely I will stay in SpartanBurg. About 40 minutes away | |
