I listened to the message you left me.Its funny cause you were turning right but going strait and i was turning left and going strait.

Ya I'm not going out for a while either I get to redo the steering I JUST did yesterday. plus I wanna armor up.

[nightfoam]

Were you in the little white xj that could?

[4x4wagon]

no mine was headed back down the trail when the grand was starting to pull out the white one figured i should follow them out since im the one they followed on to the trail i bet it will be awhile before they follow a random jeep down another trail atleast they got a good first wheelin story

[AwesomeXJ]

Ya next time you go out you should run with the big bogs. Lol

[4x4wagon]

well i go almost every weekend usually just my heep and a friend or two

[juniorXJ]

well fellas, im'a gunna have to wait till tomorrow to post the pics from today. i am beat and have to get up at 5 O 'effin clock in the morning for school (IITR:) ) sorry for the delay:(

[GlueNTape]

I had a great time guys.

I do need to get some things in order before the usual spring time assult on other runs..


We ran the lower portions of Cedar Tree , took the left down to beaver Dam road to hit up firebreak 5.

Their were pockets of slushy snow, sometimes 10~12 inches deep that made Cedar tree quite the trail.

I think Aaron used a good term Tabogan run.. It was slow and slick, I was sliding all over and bumping off this tree and that.

We headed to Firebreak.. after making out of the third section of CedarTree we were headed for that steep uphill turn, that does about a 180.. Everything else had been so slush covered and slick.. I didn't want to do it. We didn't have the winch power to recover anyone if it went wrong.

Great day guys. I was beat when I got home. My boys fell asleep while we were airing up.. and slept the whole way home.

As rough as it was, it was great that everyones rig Drove home and everyone got out safe.

[crazymoose1990]

I had a great time today is another story. I think that being out in the cold all day finally did me in now I have me a cold. I even missed worked today.

[Bronzewyrm]

i had a great time yesterday. no major carnage. jason and matt good to meet you. mat the new rig was impressive on A/T's for shure. jason thx alot for the tug of war on FB5. i was hung up with no chance, withought your help. awsome day. totaly beat. heep hit 200k on the way home... Like a Champ!!!!1

pics and vids after dinner, maby.i just steped out of the paint booth, i dont have many. i was buissy grabbing ahold of everything else in the jeep i could.:yelclap:

until the next time.
Bronze.

[TORX]

Sounds like it was a rough day on the trails, but a good challenge is always fun.

... still waiting on the :photo:'s.

[crazymoose1990]

Yeah no problem Bronze I have to admit you were hung up really good. Have you looked under your Jeep yet to see what you were hung up on. I didnt escape unscathed something is bent underneath and my steering is all messed up. Maybe it was the tree I was hung up on or maybe hitting that tough spot on cedar a little to hard. I had fun however I think I am worse off that my Jeep I was fighting a cold before going to TSF and I think that spending the day in the rain just did me in.

[Bronzewyrm]

yeah its the famous 8.25 bottom lip. gets me every time. looks like its time for a diff skid. never thaught id need it till lastweekend.

Ugh, I need one of those too. I've pulled plenty o' chunks of wood off mine :gee:

[juniorXJ]

well fellas, i do apologize for the delay. this last week has been busy busy busy. it was the last week of school for me at IITR www.iitr.net (http://www.iitr.net) crammed full of yard and road tests. Today i took my State CDL test with the third party tester, kicked its arse of course, so now i have myself an Oregon class A CDL with air breaks doubles/triples tank and hazmat endorsements :roll:

Anywho on to the meat and potatoes. Normally i have a full fledged article for your enjoyment. Though this time unfortunately with this last week being so nuts i don't have the brain power to remember the details of the day. i will do my best to describe the events that occurred.

As usual i showed up late (go figure) my radio isn't up to what it used to be so i had some trouble getting a hold of the rest of the group. checked rogers camp first, everyone had already departed. so i decided to try to find them. i didn't get to far away when i hear Jason i believe (crazymoose) over the CB looking for the same folks i was. i decided to head back to rogers and meet up with him and see if it would be easier to find everyone with another set of ears. we finally found ceder tree and began to follow that trail until meeting up with the rest somewhere around the beginning of the second section. not to far after i managed to get myself stuck in a root hole of a tree that came down sometime this winter. with a strap around my front diff. (i know :twak:) i was on my way again. up the way a tad, a small battle with what is normally a simple 10yd climb was a sloppy brown snow slosh garden. regrouping at the end of this section we decided not to continue on with the rest as the snow was getting deeper and more stuckacating.

i didn't get any good action shots. mostly because i was too lazy to hike my cold arse up to where it was:laugh3: . the rain was coming down and snow had the consistency of a snow cone.

i decided to let my lady drive my Jeep to me, then i made her climb over a fallen tree hehe.

making our way to firebreak 5 and the rock of doom was pretty uneventful. at the rock of DooM was as fun as always, with a group ahead of us having a time of it.

pics never do this obstacle justice, just trust me when i say it was sloppy.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v438/jeepless20/off%20road%202011/DSC_9949.jpg

after the rock of DooM we decided to call it a day. the kids were sleeping and the feet were monin. we aired up at rogers and practiced some recovery techniques. can never have too much practice in that area.

as far as i know everyone got home safe. it was a good drive, the lady and i were hungry so we stopped off at the black bear diner in Beaverton for some dinner. fantastic food, portions that would choke Godzilla

[crazymoose1990]

I cant believe I got high centered on that snow bank and had to be pulled off it. I can understand the fallen tree but the snow really. I also cant believe its the last day I felt worth a dam it was a good day all in all. We will need to return sometime this summer I would like to explore more trails once the Jeep gets some stuff fixed.

[crazymoose1990]

Glad to hear you past your test for your CDL :yelclap:
