It was a great trip! Great weather, great people, great trails! I'll post up pictures later once I've gone through the few I took.
This trip we covered more trails than we ever have in past years.
Day 1 we covered all of the blue, black and red trails on the NE property across the street. Later that day we ran a good 25% of the blues and purples on the West property. Day 2 we spent on the South and east properties hitting CV hill, Yellow Jacket Ridge, the Rock garden, Crawler Ridge, Cemetery Hill, Boot Hill, Lake Christie, The Quarry, Shoot the Moon, Camel Back, Snakebite. Day 3 we devoted the West Property to hit the rest of the blues, purples, blacks, reds, the red up/down loop, Death Trap and of course Rock Creek! Our last trail for the day was going to be Crawl Daddy. As we got in there were two pricy Land Rovers struggling to get of the big ledge spot. As we waited the first one struggled but couldn't get up. Ended up admitting defeat and winched up. The second Rover then gave it a go. All of a sudden BOOM! He blew his rear ring gear. Rover one then had to winch and two Rover 2 over the ledge. Just beyond the ledge Rover two then folded his front tire over and blew the bead. We knew they'd be a while dealing with it all and the dragging the remains of Rover 2 out of there.Of course Dennis and I couldn't resist easily scampering up the ledge in our rigs and then doing a U turn and heading back down the trail.
Here are some pics from the trip. Enjoy!
