I think most of us got a good workout. BTW I think I might have missed an area or two - will have to go back soon.

[daniel_buck]

Oh darn, we'll have to go back and see what we missed '


Here's my photos from today. Didn't really get a chance to take the photos I wanted to, with so many jeeps it's difficult, and I was busy driving. I hope I got at least one or two photos of everyone, but I don't think I did. Wish I would have got more photos of the Toyotas too! They made the rocks seem tame

It was a fun day, new obstacles, and a few new faces, and nice to see familiar faces / jeeps

My anti-rock got flipped over on the first little stretch of trail, so I disconnected it for the day. But even in spite of that, I think I walked away (drove away) getting a better feel for my jeep, each trip I get more and more confident. can't wait for the next trip

First a big thanks to Mike for organizing this run and leading us to some great obstacles. I got lots of pictures unfortunately I did not get many of the guys up front since I was playing tailgunner. Here is all my pics http://smg.beta.photobucket.com/user...20CB%203-16-13

I also got video but the gopro seems to be really jumpy so I will see if I can fix it before trying to edit something together.

Here are a few of my favorite pix

The automated recovery strap.

Yea you were all the way in the back this time, I know I didn't get many photos of you, by time you came up, it was ready to move the rest of the pack. Nice photos And good to see ya again Your jeep still rocks

Holy cow, you your photos I look really tippy going around that big rock, I guess I really was leaning quite a bit. It started to teeter a bit, but it looks worse in your photo, haha!

[curtis]

Looks like some great fun,and some great photo's.
