Scott and I got there a little late, found the guys and jumped right in.
Scott started the day out good!
Then he became... THAT GUY.
Ha ha just had to flip you some poop.
I was that guy to... O well.
Fun fun trip! I missed you guys. Almost 8 months later, back in it! Bigger and better... Ok well maybe better looking.
Darien and erics tent fell down... Hmm maybe cuz it was 10:30 and they where still sleeping.

Noobfest was once again a huge success.
We started Saturday with I believe 11 XJ, 1 Toyota Pickup, and an ATV.
Gameplan was to start off with a few sections of Powerline. Streetpirate modified the Pirate Ship for trail duty.
Tail end of the group.
Aaron coming up an optional climb.
Jeremy (98cherokee35s) and his wife tagged along all day on their quad after catastrophic trailer failure.
We ran Powerline, all the way to Lyda Camp. A few adjustments were made on a few of the rigs, and we continued on to Hoodraiser. Hoodraiser is a pretty basic trail that is great for getting a feel for your rig. We ran it pretty quickly, and continued up to Hogsback.
Hogsback is just something everyone has to do. It looks far more intimidating than it is. Streetpirate got some great pictures of the runs up it in his first post. After the first hill climb, we continued on through the second section.
Gatekeeper.
Jeremy was pretty worried he wouldn't fit.
The back side of Hogsback went smoothly. It's main challenge is just tight turns through the trees. That then lead Rod and I to see who could do the trail with the least amount of reverses. I don't want to hurt feelings so I won't say who won...
We took a quick lunch after Hogsback, and continued on down the Rocky Uphill bypass. This "road" is shaping into a nice trail. Here's Matt (BannieXJ) dropping off the off camber corner.
This could have been a good picture, sorry Dave2.
I've never seen someone plow dirt with their bumper, but then again Streetpirate is one of the few stockers I've seen run it.
Dave (GlueNTape) developed a leak on his power steering hose, and after a trail fix was put into place we continued on to Archer Firebreak. Archers had a few good hill climbs that a few had to work at and provided a good challenge.

Eventually we made our way to Waterfall. After coming out of retirement Rod was first to give it a shot.
I set the camera down, and focused on spotting so no pictures. However, Streetpirate got a lot of good ones in second and third posts. Rod crawled the left ledges, while Aaron and Nick walked the right side corned.
Scott well... he tapped out.
Shake down run for Nick and his freshly polished 2 door. Worked great!
Our Gang Offroad had their "Season Opener," run going on, so we watched a few rigs make it up.
After traffic cleared I finally got in line, and took my turn up the left ledges.
Feeling good about the day, we decided to head back. I felt like I had one more good obstacle left in me, so we made a quick stop at Mini Rubicon. I'll let Streetpirates pictures do the talking, but it's my trophy for the weekend.
Rod took one for the team, and decided it was a great place to provide a recovery demo. What a great guy!
Exhausted, sweaty, and covered in dust we all made our way back to camp for the night. As usual the NWC campfire was a great time.
Sunday morning rolled around, and surprisingly we stuck to the plan and headed out for some more trails.
Firebreak 5 was up first. Scott got his Man Card revoked by the wife.
Trouble.
Second climb on the first section. Luckily it was pretty dry and traction wasn't an issue. It allowed you to try additional lines.

Firebreak 5 was pretty straight forward. We continued on to Saddle Up, to see what the condition of the trail was. After hearing rumors of it being taken due to logging, I was pleased to see the trail itself really hasn't changed.
Point and shoot rig.
After Saddle Up, we were determined to run Airplane Hill. Unfortunately it's still closed for it's seasonal closure. We continued on up to 7-Up where we got a taste of the awesomeness of late spring snow.
We stopped and ran Hogsback again. Dellstopjeep's Wife took 4,370 pictures of our runs up it, so stay tuned.
Rocky Uphill was next, and after not believing Arron that the "trail has changed," much to my surprise it has (big ass rock got moved).
Everyone made it up pretty cleanly.
A few of us ran it back down and unintentionally tried to see how many rocks we could hit on the way down (worst game ever). After regrouping, we headed up to Canpener to let Goblazers_6 run it. Simple Green spanked the bottom filter, but lacked the clearance on the top ledges. I failed as a spotter, and he backed down with one less waggy taillight, and front marker lens.
Nearing 6:00 we cruised back to camp to air up, and head out. I had an absolute blast, and hope a few learned what their rigs are capable of.

actually I'm plowing dirt with my front spoiler. That was the first time Ive ever been spotted through something that there is no way in hell I could have made it without flopping otherwise. It was sweet, Dustin's in charge for a reason
I'm really regretting not running that one part of hogsback, but there's always next time.
