Well, I and 5 others from the Colorado School of Mines all got together and planned to run red elephant/mill creek/bill moore lake trail system yesterday. But since none of us had run it from the red elephant side, we ended up getting lost in the maze of trails at the bottom. So, feeling like idiots, we just decided to run spring creek because we knew for sure where it was.
We had 2 xjs (I drive the red one), a heavily modified wrangler, an S-10, an xterra, and a relatively stock grand cherokee. Only the wrangler, the S-10 and I had lockers so we were hesitant about running spring creek, but it ended up going pretty well. Only the stock-ish grand cherokee had to turn around, and everybody else made it just fine.
So, enough talk. It's time for pictures!
Airing down & disconnecting
The wrangler coming up the 1st obstacle
Most of the group
My friend Justin (who I went to moab with) coming around the paint-eating rock
Me coming around the rock
Ha, in this picture I'm only on 2 wheels. My friend Brandon came up behind me and was rocking me up & down with just his hand
The other xj coming around the rock
The paint-eating rock almost made a meal of the grand cherokee
After going up the first obstacle, we got hungry so we decided to eat. As we were finishing up it started to lightly snow, and we decided to turn around because it was getting kind of late and we didn't want to come down the 1st obstacle when it was real wet
This is brandon coming down and around the rock at the bottom of the obstacle and doing a little wheelstand
Justin getting a tire in the air
I was the 2nd to last in the line, and in just that short time it started snowing real hard
It was real slick coming down the face (I slid nearly all the way down it)
Finally, when BJ came around the rock he had this massive wheelstand
Once we were all down, we headed back in the snow
