Another great weekend was had by all. Some good wheeling was all over the place. However the "Rockcrawling" was a bit sparse. Had to hunt for the more extreme trails and we did succeed. We found the "Waterfall" and a somewhat cool trail leading to it as well as a fun run leading to the "V-Notch" a canyon over to the east. Another trail was full of good boulders to the south east that we did in the dark. It too was a good run. They all seemed to be kind of like the Hammers but on a lesser scale.

The Taco Bar was good as it ever gets and kept us going all weekend. We could have used less wind...I hate wind! This time it was more than just a breeze. Monday was the best as far as the wind was concerned, there wasn't any!!! Good way to end a weekend. Our maiden voyage with the new toy hauler was successful with no problems. Made for a great base camp. Pinion the camp dawg did good too. He even went on a night run with us and seemed to enjoy it.

Below is good ol' Bob Tech checking on some problems that occurred during our run. We thought Catfish busted a rear axle, turned out to be his welder diff came un-welded, he also lost some air. Mike needs a little more slip on that spline, he also needs to touch up on a shock mount
