Well I have to say that I'll definitely be going again. That January 13th trip is sounding better and better. I learned a bit more and wheeled with some good guys, and girl(Once again, go Val). Only suffered minor damage. I slid off a rock into another one and nicked the very outside edge of my front passenger wheel. No biggie. If I learned anything, make sure the tires are firmly planted on the rock.

Some of the stuff I saw up there was somewhat more enjoyable than the wheeling. The guy on the ATV that rolled it, and the mystery person in that lifted Van was something else. Plus Brad getting way tipsy going up that hill on the other side of the creek was entertaining.

I love the attention my truck got. That one group of ATVs just kept gawking at my truck, and even took pictures at one point in the trail. Here they are watching me go through that one trench.



Here's the rest of what I got:

hey guys looks like you had a good time me and my friends got there at about 930 and i figured you all had already gone out. I was in the 01 DC red with abot 4.5 inches of lift, my buddies were in a teal SAS Dakota on 38s, Olive drab yota SAS and black K-10 1 ton pickup. We did mostly high blues and suprisingly i came out with the least amount of damage. Um i didnt get your name but a guy in a red tacoma took a vid at the play area of the Dakota doing a nasty hill climb. If you could post that vid that would be awesome. I might be coming on the january event to wheel with you guys. Overall i was very pleased with my performance i took my time and tryed to be careful and the only carnage i managed was to snap off my antenna lol.

You know what, I think I saw your truck after we came out. You the guy with the super swampers on? If that was you, nice truck!

The guy in the red Tacoma (Blacked out lights?) was with the other group and I wasn't with them. I'm sure someone on here can contact him and get him to post the videos up. I'd love to see it.

Angus1:

I knew that one trail looked VERY familiar seeing as how that was my first time up there. Which truck were you driving again? I know your name wasn't Angus. LOL

 

[Zeb8806]

yeah that was me with the TSL swampers. i saw your truck too looked great definatly the nicest new body style taco ive seen in person. hopefully by the january run ill have my locker, new rear springs and shocks, and coilovers cranked up. As soon as my buddies get there pictures uploaded ill pot some up for you all.

 

[Stock02]

Looks like a good time! Thanks for the pics.

 

[Angus1]

I got the green 04 the blown one, the guy that was up front all day, joe

 

[Rodge]

Sorry man, I'm horrible with names.

What trails did we end up going on? I know we went down turtle, but that's about it. I don't have a CB Radio so I had no clue what was going on, just following the truck in front of me and hoped for the best.

 

[Angus1]

we did turtle ( I love that trail ) rock swamp, logging trail, inner and outer spare tire, and the big guys played on rattler.

 

[Toyo4x4]

Looks like a blast. I was too busy freezing in a treestand. Was that shot on the powerline trail the whole group? If so, wow that was a good turnout, there's a ton of trucks climbing there.

 

[Angus1]

we had two groups seven with me and 3 more in another group, i think 4 more showed but didnt wheel with us I was suprised and pleased cause we kept moving all day. sometimes wit ha big group its a mutha, but everybody did great.

 

[Rodge]

While I was sitting at work today I traced our path from beginning to end, and there seems to be a nice gap between Inner/Outer Spare Tire and Rock Swamp. Was that the spot where we circled for a bit?

 

[Angus1]

inner and outer was were we circled and then we wnet up the hill where pete an mark played in the washout then up valley to logging trail on the right to rock swamp

 

[Rodge]

Once I find somewhere to upload it, I'll have some footage of Pete and Jordan on Rattler's Tail. Anyone know of a site where I can upload a 150MB video and keep it in the format I shot it? I can get a pro account on Photobucket, but the files get converted and lose a ton of quality.
