I just got home at 6:00, was a very long day, we left at the top as did the TJ, everyone else was still grilling. Didn't get many pics as I was bringing up the rear.

Four hours difference between you two. Must have been one hell of a BBQ!

I didn't stay for BBQ, lets just say it took a LOT longer than expected to run the trail.

How did Frank get back so soon? How many rigs were there?

Frank took point as he had to be back to the springs early, I think there ended up being about 12-13 in our group. Made for slow moving, met some cool people though:cheers:

I got home around 4, and I left when the last one in the group was about to go up the first obstacle/climb. And I had been back down to the Springs before I caught up with the group, Ranger Rick lost his clutch when the hydraulic line got a hole in it on Old Stage Rd before the trailhead.

Terry was there with the Rockfrogs, and another XJ guy that's been at CO fests, but I can't recall his name.

Lot's of people I didn't know. I still think we need nametags.

I thank you all for the patience. It was a good learning experience. Definitely need a bigger rig for a trail like that though. 3.5" and 31's didnt do me to well.

And sorry for the guy whos cooler i ran over!

something like 11-14 rigs, and some misinformation about Eagle Rock being a breeze for stockers... we had much spotting, much pulling, some winching. BBQ'd about 5:30-6. The boys and I got home at about 7:15. Lot of fun, lots of noobs for us to teach and mock:cheers:. I enjoyed meeting all of you!!

I got home at 9:30, got to love the drive back up to Milliken (near Greeley).

I had a good time and sorry for being one of those saying it should be ok for near stock rigs. Its been years since i ran it and it wasn't nearly as dug out when I did. I think if we were to do it early in the season it would be easier for the stockers.

Now I'm pulling my Jeep into the garage for a total teardown and refit. I've been thrashing the hell out of it and its time I gave it a full spa treatment to make up for it.

As fun as it was I think I'm more a 4-5 rig person, I don' think I want to go up with that large a group again unless we're camping out.

9:30? Ouch! And I thought getting home at 8:00 was late. It was a loooong day, but a fun ride. I can't belive I managed to not take any pictures. For some reason as soon as I start wheelin' I forget my camera exists...

sorry about my info about stockers amkin it up...last time i was up....only a few weeks ago the trail was NOTHING like that.....there were a lot more holes and a lot of rocks had been tossed around.....
