This was a great trip, we had nickguy and bendiesel along with the JK NW group up at walker today. All in all there was about 10 rigs. Carnage was very light, we has on JK that busted a axle ujoint and a few other scrapes and dents for a few other rigs. I ended up blowing out a rear shock (it was expected.)
To start off the day Ben and his friend Chris met me at the Rest stop just past smokey joint, from there we rallied up to walker, but shortly after the exit off of I5 the law decided I was going a little too fast:wave1:. Thankfully he was in great spirits and let me go with a warning.
Once we arrived at the staging area, we all prepped our rigs and we off to upper mainline trail. We decided to take the rockface route and thats where things went a bit south and we lost a ujoint. Nobody attempted the first rock as it was really dug out this time, so we all went around that part and did the upper part of the face. The rest of upper mainline was fairly uneventful. We hit twisted tree trail and ran into a few lifted Subi's.
At last we ended up at lower expressway,the first obstical was definately alot of fun with all the slop making things very interesting. Once we got back on the main road, most of the group had left us. At the very end 4 of us decided to take the last leg of lower main line. And WOW it was to say the least one of the funnest trails I have been on in some time, every turn seemed to have a root ball or tree trunk sticking out waiting to catch a window, luckily the remaining 4 got thru the trail unscathed.
All in all it was a amazing trip, I got to experience parts of walker I have never seen and parts I never want to see again:laugh2:
Since I forgot my camera battery I am waiting for some of the other group to post links to pictures and videos and I will update as I can.:wave1:
