Trip report and pictures for 9/18 run
Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2010 9:31 pm
We had 13 jeeps show up IIRC for the September 18th run including our newest member Tony D from Newton (del_TJ)
Welcome to the club Tony you did great on a fairly tough run. As usual we broke into two groups a moderate and hard group. There were roughly 5 jeeps in the hard group with Kurt, Dave C, Marky, Jack and John C hitting the hard stuff and lapping the larger moderate group a few times in the process. They seemed to have some fun and had minor if any carnage on the day aside from some new body damage and such.
The moderate group was lead by Carl with his trusty copilot extrodinare Paul who also pulled duty as the main spotter on the day (thanks again for the help Paul! good to see you!) We took a different loop than last time out on this property and took a harder line than normal. We had some minor damage along the way with a shopping cart hitting Bills bumper and some pin stripes along the way but no breaks or major carnage on the day. It took the better part of the day to find the trail head and then do the loop we did. All in all it was a full day on the trail and I feel a good time was had by all.
Heading in from the field my prediction of dry condiotions was soon disproved from the previous nights rain.
Carl paving the way on the first part of the more challenging route
Tony making quick work after Carl found the way
James pretty much walked up everything.
Bill still looking show room new for now..
We soon neared the top of the hill and Dave gave us some quick lessons on Jeeping 401.
Advanced engineering 401
Culinary arts 402
On trail use of OBA 101, 102 201, 202 301 302...
Carl found a new favorite rock which owned most of the group.
Tony looked like a pro
Its a jeep meet you wouldnt understand.
Second take was more successful
Eve as usual and gave it her all.
The big dogs waiting for us to get gone..
Jayson and Mark moving on.
Bill
Kai with some nice flex
Don made a lot of it look easy, even open open seat time reigns supreme.
