AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!

Sean lost a spring, but he replaced it and continued up the trail.

Boy oh boy, I guess I missed the carnage on the run back up Bouquet. Sorry to hear you guys had some breakage. I wanted to thank everyone for a great day on the trail. I had a great time, and enjoyed meeting y'all. Looking forward to another run soon. My buddy Mike took a bunch of photos, so I will try to get him to upload them to the site. Cheers!

It was a fun run and I got to test out my winch and new syn cable. Great pics as always Russ.

Russ thanks for all your hard work. Photos, video, even a trail map, oh and driveline repair kit. It was great meeting everyone, and it was an awesome trip. My friend Chris took some pics, so I'll get those up when I can.

Paul sorry to hear you got a tow home, I guess I left to early.

Lets do it again sometime.

Pics

Hey all. So here are some pics that Chris took. I used flickr, (photobucket and picturesync weren't playing nice). They are downsized quite a bit becasue flikr was being stupid as well. If you want one higher res, e-mail me or PM me and I can send it to you. I hope to get them on photobucket later. Anyways, here is the link.

Haha, a co-worker was looking at some links a friend sent, including that one... as soon as I saw it, I knew I HAD to post it up... Just joking around with you Paul!

(one of the other links he was looking at was the best graffiti I've ever seen: HERE)
