I didn't get many good pics. Especially once it started getting dark. Snow on top of dark definitely makes that trail more challenging.

Start of the trail. Those tracks were only there for a little bit, then we were cutting fresh tracks until we passed a couple of other trucks going to other direction.




First difficult area. Well at least it was for me with one hub not locked in. You can see my tracks on the right side of the pic - the line NOT to take. Everyone was smart enough not to take my line.

The following pic was around dusk, so it didn't turn out well. Anyways, it is Toby putting his daughter to work holding back tree branches. Gotta protect the wax coat man!

I'm glad I went. That was a lot of fun, between Toby's non-locking lockers, the CB chatter and donut puckering descent.

Damn if it didn't remind me why I started this nonsense in the first place. Good times.

You referring to digging people out of huge mudholes, dented rockers, and crazy crotch-ripping antics?

Mountains, fresh air, big trucks, challenging trail, 2 for 1 corner store taquitos with chocolate milk, laughing and having a good time with friends, smiling all the way home, getting a good nights sleep.

Yep, it was heaven.

Had a good time too. Take a nice easy dirt trail and slap some ice down with a little snow sprinkled on top and run a 6,000lb. truck down a big hill :woohoo:

My pics came out crappy due to the camera was almost dead and then it was dead 3 shots later, man do these digital cameras eat batteries.

Nice! I love primered trucks. Looks agressive like that... almost like the back alley thug.
