Well it was a LONG day. I went up to John Bull for the second day in a row. Yesterday I was able to run a number of trails including John Bull.
Today was a different story.
I ran gold mountain for starters and there wasnt a vehicle in sight. Then when i got to the rock query I saw a super nicely built 4dr Jk. After about 5 minutes past the rock query it was hit the brakes. About 5 bronco's were blocking the trail and one of them had a busted u joint. About 15 minutes later we were moving.
The JK pulled over for lunch and i continued behind the bronco's. Then after about 10 minutes they pull over, blocking the trail yet again and simply decide to have lunch. not asking if i'd like to pass. At first I thought someone had problems again, but upon inspection they simply blocked the trail. I got around them and headed on.
I was good for about 10 minutes, then I ran into about 20 more bronco's lined up PROPERLY on the turn out from white mt to 3n10. I got to pass all of them. THANK GOD.
Then it was smooth sailing to the gate keeper of john bull where there was yet again about 15 bronco's. They looked built but most of them were open. If they werent open they just couldnt find a line. they had SO much trouble. Down time 30 minutes. I couldnt wait anymore. I asked to pass through and I picked a line and went right through.
An open cj7 was in there group and asked me if he could be behind me in case i needed to winch him. i said sure.
I remember the days of open diffs and full throttle. makes for crowd excitement.. to say the least.
After about 5 minutes on I run into ANOTHER 10 bronco's blocking up the trail. down time 1 hr. THIS IS GETTING OLD.....
After I got through that group I continued and finished JB with out a problem.
Time to go home........
