My plan was to get there and ride some Friday, but barely made it by dark. We were alone except for a few four wheelers.
Saturday morning was looking bleak, still alone. Then all of a sudden we had sever groups of Toys, Zukis and Jeeps show up. Kewl, we could wheel. Our group consisted of a Rodeo, several Suki's, A 3 week old four door Unlimited. A stock YJ on 235's, Gonovrit's new(to him) YJ, 3dcrawler, myself, a Cherokee, and a yota.
We chose some easier trails so all could enjoy. The unlimited did great, the stocker YJ had a few problems, but over come them. Only carnage was minor.
Sock YJ separated in transfer case shifter, Yota had some leaking on a T case and needed to refill. We went by little Telico and Josh tried the rock garden, didn't go far, and backed out before he broke. Th Cherokee tried too, and went about as far, broke a shock backing out. The yota tried and twisted the rear drive shaft.
We went on down and went up Welder. The Stock YJ, Unlimited, and the broke Yota parked at the bottom, and we compressed people in other rigs and went up to do the water fall. 3DCRAWLER attempted and was denied, the hole kept getting him and the rear was trying to walk under neath the Jeep. The owner of the Unlimited rode with David. She didn't see much as she was clinching her straps and kept her head down and eyes closed for most of it. He took the rope and come on out. The Cherokee tried and same thing, the hole. The new rig of GONOVERIT throttled up it after several attempts. I came up with the husband of the owner of the Unlimited as a passenger. He was real excited about doing something like this. He had never wheeled before. I do think he may have caught the fever! Anyway, I tried to take a little different line since the others were not working so well. I went far right, it was working until my right rear climbed the right side. With no traction on the front, it took me hard left, and I was real close to a hard side flop. So I waited to take rope. The passenger seemed cool and collected, but one of his friends said his eyes were the size of baseballs when we almost flopped. After they got me straight, I worked on it again. This time I went the middled and after a few tries, I made it up. Not sure what they did then, but we had to leave. so, we went back to camp, loaded up and come home
I enjoyed the day a lot. Got to meet a bunch of guys from Zuki page, and a bunch from here. Sorry if I don't remember all the names, but I will remember your rigs!
