  • Holcomb

    So we got there nice and early and headed for Holcomb. First off camber section had a nice lil pucker factor.

    Then started on the rock garden.

    I got into this bad habbit of getting high centered.

    sundance and nate split after Holcomb, especially nate ready to blow up big bear with a leaky gas tank. But rat patrol and I and some new (jeep) heads we met decided to have a little lunch and hit john bull (just rat and I). As far as the jamboree mob turns out we barely saw anyone else up there until towards the end of john bull. We were running it backwards while a few jambo heads we running it foward so being the gentleman I man I moved to the side for them...................and got high centered. Yes I NEED 35's. But rat and I finished the trail and I felt very satisfied with the day. Cool beans dude.

      I think i like getting started so early....no one there! Wish i coulda stuck around for Johnbull, but, kinda hard when your gas tank is leaking like a faucet. Friggin think stopped leaking last night! Had a really good time, next time i will have to make it a whole day event. good runnin with you guys.

      Rat makin the trail look hard....its ROCK CRAWLING not ROCK RACING.


      First rock garden...getting use to the new locker.

            Cool pics guys! Looks like a good time, as usual! I can't believe they haven't fixed the first off-camber on Holcomb. That "obstacle" just seems entirely unnecessary. :2:

              in January 3 of us did holcomb in the freezing rain. we got to the off camber section and 2/3 of us slid off the trail sideways on the ice..that was a rush
              It's not what you have. it's what you do with what you have.

                The bypass to the off camber section is to the right.

                  Last I heard that isn't a legal bypass.

                    Hey guys, here's a link to the pics I could coax out of my dropped way too many times camera! The Jeeps did well, the cameras took a beating!

                    Nate, you're telling me to slow down?! Yeah, right! Of course with that gas tank leak, you could have become a rocket...

                    That was a blast, look forward to doing again. Sundance it was a pleasure meeting you, Paul, as always, rockin' good time. Hey Nate, tell your boys I said HI.

                        I'll get some pics up of the tires we talked about in the next couple of days. Gotta get them down from the warehouse.

                        C YA,

                            Sounds like a plan, if I can make it :0 Where do we meet? I'm 80% sure at this point, as the weekend gets closer I'll know for sure. That sounds perfect; Big Bear from East to West. An all dayer, and lookin forward to it! Let me know where to meet...
