    SnowtrooperJR & the Dragon

    Greetings, all!
    Just got back from my Father's Day outing with SnowtrooperJR. We hit a trail that climbs 3K feet and terminates at a lake. Sadly, we did not make it to the lake at the end due to my not wanting to risk rolling off the trail. I am sure if I was out with some more expreienced 4X'ers, we may have made it...
    Other than that, everything was great. Killer views, great company and a day to remember!
    Hope all the dads out there got to have as much fun as me


    Entry to Laurel Lakes Trail:






    About halfway up:










    Out for a stretch:




    Some scenery:








    And the end of the trail. It was definately doable, I think, but I would have had to angle off the side a bit. As I approached, it seemed a bit risky. Perhaps if someone was along with the experience of how much an angle without rolling the VX will handle:






    A shot from down the valley at the blockage I decided to not cross:




    A view heading out the valley back down:




    Lunch break:








    Again, a great time. Just though it wise too err on the side of caution and not roll the Dragon on Father's Day

    If the gang is up for it, this is one trail we will do when the Reno VX group comes here for the 4th of July camping trip.

    Best,

    Wow James, after seeing this thread, my girlfriend wants one of each-a VX, and an adorable kid (who loves VX's) I can't wait to check out some of that scenery, see you on the trip!
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Tell her she can practice with SnowtrooperJR when you guys are here. He does love his "Dragon", that's for sure!
