I think they all set around a fire singin songs and holding hands..........

I decided to go break my heep on Indy instead.

It was a good day, long day too. Not as long as Frank's was though. It was nice to get out and meet some people, thanks for that. I've only got phone pics, if any turned out ok I'll post them up.

Wes.

Alright you whiners:bawl: heres a trip report:

I had a great time with good folks.:thumbup:
Hit the trail around 10:15 finished at 2:40.Had about 15 rigs, weather was cloudy but nice though the wind did kick up a couple of times.No breakage and the trail was pretty dry except around the waterfall of course.Not much other traffic- just a few Wranglers and some ATVs.

Didn't get too many pics but here's some:

Whoohoo! 2 of the 3 "Mall Rated" XJ's made the pix!

Was a sweet day and pretty good turn out. This was the first time on this trail and I can say that the pics do not do it justice! I do want to thank Jeff for the great lead and spotting also Justin for the great spotting, couldn't have done it without! I did manage to make the whole trail without strapping up tho. Jeff I really am going to re-name the " V notch" to " Whiplash" after taking the top of that boulder off with my front diff....unbelievable and thats a D-30 to boot. Everyone was in good spirit and am looking forward to the next meet up....thanks again!

Super sick rig... :greensmok
probably walked it like it was hardly a speedbump.

Great pics Jeff. Definitely makes me miss my old rig... a LOT.

I got a few pics too, but since I'm on dialup it'll be a bit before I get them posted. Try back tomorow (later tonight if lucky). It was a great trip, though. I learned one thing: open diffs are not your friend.

Alright you whiners:bawl: heres a trip report:

Ya know, they could have just shown up, too.:greensmok

Is it just me, or is Terry driving around the V-notch here? Wasn't aware that was an option....

 

[tonesxj]

Good pics guys! Looks like a nice day up there.

keep your fantasies to yerself... :nono:

Is it just me, or is Terry driving around the V-notch here?

well i'm 0/2 on that line. i tried it last year (unsuccessfully) after watching led go after it. i don't feel too bad, as if i recall it took him a good 45 minutes and he beat the h*ll out of his rig trying.

seems like there should be a way to finesse around it... i'll find it one of these days. :spin1:
(thanks for helping me try justin).

fwiw, both whale rock and that ledge obstacle are much more dug out this year.
