Here are my pics from the 10May08 Expressway scouting trip and trail clean-up the NWC did at Walker Valley ORV park. The day started a little rough for me, with some sort of stomach bug causing me to be late to pick up Ba-Riedo. Then Ba-Riedo's dad, Dr. Riedo (Alex's dad is a doc), saw me puking in his wife's garden and came out to see if he could help. After a 15 minute physical (no gloves were involved) we were off with a prescription of ginger ale.
Anyway, we finally caught up with the main force just a little ways up Expressway. As we prepared to move further on down the trail, Mc2KXJ's rig wouldn't start, and none of the usual suspects seemed to be the issue. Here he is doffing his hat in penance for holding the group up:
Using some of the fallen branches and timber to shore up drainage issues:
Some minor trail repair on the Subota was underway once we got to the Rockface:
The "bypass"
It's basically not impossible by 4x4s...and even the Quad guys had their issues:
Though I didn't catch it on camera, this 4x4 Quad rider actually flopped his off to the right after getting past the tree.
Illustrating the need for a bypass, most rigs had a lot of trouble making it up the old bypass:
Even Michael got a little crossed up and needed a few tries to make it up:
