Todays trail "attempt" was short lived and there was carnage! A group of 7 vehicles set out to conquer Cliff Hanger. We made it as far as the entrance obstacle with 5 vehicles at the bottom Mikes Trooper hit hard going down and blew a radiator hose. In an attempt to get him back up the obstacle Jack (PBKid) attempted to take a different line up to strap Mike...PB came down HARD on a rock smashing his shiney new skidplate skyward into his radiator and crushing/relocating it. Now we had 2 vehicles stuck in the middle of the obstacle. With a bit winch work we got Craig to the the top in his Trooper. We were then able to assist Mike and Jack up. We then got everyone else to the top and our day was done. I towed Jack back to the Red Rock, we got his old radiator out, new radiator will be here in the morning. Mike got his new hose in. New day tomorrow.
My pics will have to wait until I get home...no plave at Pack Creek to power my 'puter...sorry guys!

Wow! Glad I went on the La Sal run today. No carnage on our run but it was also short lived. Got turned back by a felled tree and large snow feild. I have an axe so we cleared the tree for others but weren't going to make it through the snow. We tried the bypass route but the water was flowing too high for stream crossing.
Here are a few pics. All my pics can be seen at http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...%20XIV%202011/

I think the only carnage today was a cv boot on Joe Fotoz's vx.. It was quickly repaired at the stoop. Never a lack of tools, parts, knowledge, or helping hands.
How quickly?
I want to compare myself to a group of VX'ers!
Need more pics asap lol... Very sad I couldnt make it this year hope you all are tearing it up .
A few comments about the pictures. Lisa love the ima sneak in the ll.l symbol (err gang sign).
Oh guns sweet. and then you have Big Swede choppin the lumber. Um Lisa why is your finger by your nose? You scratching it?

Yesterday Todd led a group of 25 vehicles (19 VX's) for the VX run on 7 mile rim. Very scenic trail with a few places to play and a few high speed area's where I may have gotten a little air time No carnage to be had...though a few of us tried!
Today the almighty Zeus led a small group of us through Hells Revenge in the rain...slick rock can be quite slick when wet. Was quite the fun time. Tip over challenge is like ice when wet. I smoked the tires trying to get even the slightest amount of traction but it just wasn't happening...but it was quite entertaining. Afterwards a few of us went over and made quick work out of Baby Lions Back.
One more day for me
But Rob, you are here...love the glasses by the way. You get'em at an Elton John yard sale?
