Other wise it was an impressive rig to spot through one of the tougher trails at the park! Did anyone get pictures of the "Trail Modification" project we did?
No, no pics. My father and I dropped the ball on that one. Actually, niether one of us took any pics after the first 50ft of Otters. I think we were both in awe of the situation. I didnt even thik to grab the camera to document his run on crawler ridge. I was so concerned about making sure he could hear TY (and not listening to country) and paying attention to his spotter (obviously TY) that I completely forgot about the camera.
Pop did take some pics earlier and they will be posted.
As usual it was a great time



Ty. Thanks for spotting my Father and keeping my baby safe but please dont ever say drive it like you stole it again. He takes that literally, and, it only takes one trip in his BM'ER on a back road to realize that you dont need an amusement park for the scare of a lifetime while actually never bieng in danger.
Or better yet:
Father+BMW+130=
Father+Jeep+skinny pedal & country music=

That rock was hot!!! Mix a little igneous slab and some glacial receeding and you have yourself one well built piece of stone. I know, I know, alot of you are attracted to the volcanic obsidians but they can be built in minutes and shatter to quick. Oh, and dont even get me started on sandstones.
JD1066 saw the opening and went for it. who are we to judge that kind of life, and if he hadnt gotten there first....she'd be in the yard right now.:dontkn ow2:

Great day out on the trails as usual. Had a blast. Here are a few pictures from the day.










Adam's Dad driving it like he stole it on Crawler Ridge.


Justin getting a little flex on Crawler Ridge.


Some pics from Otter's.
A big Thank You all for helping me make it through this crazy trail. I owe you all one or two Special thanks to Tyler for spotting, did a great job - No major damage. Also, thanks Justin for playing photographer for me.

First obstacle on Otters. Just a bit of flex.



How far can you lean before tipping over? I don't ever want to find out. This was enough for me.






And now for a bit of Trail Magic, compliments of a big a$$ hammer!

Notice the big rock right in front of my diff preventing forward movement?


Hocus Pocus and everyone taking a turn with the big a$$ hammer. Now, that rock was turned into the rock that is directly below the cross member. TRAIL MAGIC!


The only real damage of the day. Air tank 0, Rocks 1.

Great pics! I wish I couldve made it.

RDY4RKS,

Where did you have your tank mounted that it got smashed?
