Callalantee 10-7-06

Made a trip up to TN with SPOA87YJ saturday. Stopped on the way up and picked up 3 free 'pane tanks that upnover got for me at Dixie Run. Thanks Chip! Didn't get a chance at Big Tellico, SPOA grenaded his tcase on upper Welder and we had to limp back to the trailers. Front output went out on the last rock garden, maybe the chain. The new rock garden we cut off of the yellow trail just prior to the SFWDA convention in June, between markers 10 and 9 on Alan and Galen's map, http://koanwood.com/images/Callalantee_2006_08_28.jpg, has eroded to the point that the right line is not as challenging or fun as it was at first. More work needs to be done to clear and establish the left side of the rock face, there are definately possibilities there! Vid of the CYJKrawler on the Welder waterfall, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr8Hds0g7XA, he makes it, eventually :)
 
And I thought I had Wheel hop issues! I will tell like Larry always tell me, grab a higher gear

Yeah, IF you have the power to turn that gear, BUT with 42's and a 2.5L I'm doing good to make it as far as I do :) BTW, I don't think that's actually wheel hop as much as vehicle hop, it's a technique I'm working on perfecting :)
 
Gumbo Mudders RIP, TSLs passed the test even with the vehicle hop! Thanks for tug(more like 8) on Welder, maybe I need to invest in a winch next since I have a drivetrain gremlin. Works fine in 2wd, I took it around the farm when I unloaded it, so hopefully it's only the chain. I'll be back for break in a week or two to help out with ZRox:driver:
 
callalantee rules all. those two new unamed gardens we were up there the weekend before. yell at us next time. we are going up the 21st check the upcoming events.
 
Travis made it after a side flop, his buddy with the tube-yota on 42 IROKs (sorry forgot the name) made it first with no cable and got the naming rights. Butch in our club made it up with his tube-scrambler on 40" BFG Krawlers.

I have heard of others calling it 'Big Tellico' also.
 
Metal Mangler in his first gen Toyota on 38.5 Boggers made it also, no breakage and no pulling cable.
