  • Trail Discussion: Feb 10th Weekend- in Calico

    What a great time we all had, yet again, at Calico! My first time going up Gatekeeper alone made my weekend! But there was so many more good times to be had. We got the chance to meet other MJR members that came out for the day on Saturday (JK08) and Jon (Jonrubi) that came out to camp with Lorie, Skylar, and myself. What a great group to go out wheeling with.

    I really look forward to seeing the videos and pictures that Danny (JK08) took of Lorie and I going up the side loop at the end of Doran trail.

    Below are a few videos of this weekend. Once I get to uploading the rest, I'll post more.

    Cool videos! I think Jeff was thinking he was a little too close the rock on that 2nd video LOL His eyes got pretty big on that one. How exciting was that though?! Let's go do it again!! Thanks go out to everyone who was taking pics and video. Bummer my digital crapped out on me..or we'd have even more.

    Skylar owned Doran on that day!

        Nice Skylar! Jon and I had so much fun standing his buggy up like that on the gatekeeper. What a ride!! I think on that particular ride, I drove it up and he drove it down What a Blast!! And we met up with some of the coolest people out there..I could have done another 2 days easy!

                Here are a few pictures from my perspective.

                Approching the beast to get her upright and back down the Gatekeeper.


                Jon and Skylar waking the Beast...


                And she did turn on on the first attempt with no smoke or spills at all. That was really cool to see...wish I was in it.


                Here is proof that even Lorie needs to get strapped every now and then.


                And not just strapped but strapped by the Beast...


                I think her car (oops, I mean Jeep) knew what was coming and spit up her lunch...Manifold Burrito!


                Here I was practicing climbing the wall without damage...Oh well, I need more practice.


                Pulled over to let a large group go by.

                        Great video Danny thanks for the time you put into it.

                        Dak--As soon as I learn how to use my GPS I'll be happy to create .gpx file. I don't even know at this point if my Garmin GPSmap 62st is capable of doing that but if it is and I learn how, I would be happy to get those for the trails we go on.

                          Here is a video of Danny going up Doran's waterfall for the first time with open differentials--you did really good Danny especially for your first time out on these trails.

                          Here I am going down Doran's waterfall on Sunday morning run before packing it up and going home.

                              Thanks Skylar, but Vanessa took most of the videos; I though it would be good for me to mention that just in-case she saw this thread. Lol
