This was kind of a last minute run between FiveNDime and myself. Joey had been wanting to get his Jeep back out and test out the goodies (this time with relocated brake lines, and IRO steering). Since I'm always up for a day of wheeling, we decided to hit up TSF. It proved to be a very fun day!
I met up with Joey in Vancouver, and we rolled out to TSF around 7:30ish. By 9:00 we were aired down, and ready to hit the trails. Firebreak 5 was first on the list.
Although the weather was decent in the morning, all the rain the previous day completely saturated the soil. Traction was not easy to come by, and the TSF Peanut Butter was everywhere.
Joey leaving his mark.
Like trying to drive on Peanut Butter.
Pre-run for the Cruise-In RTI?
We continued on up FB5, hiked into the Crushers for a bit, and then continued onto Saddle Up.
I don't understand how he gets so dirty. :laugh:
We stopped at Airplane Hill to scope it out. The rocks were a little wet, but the filter seemed doable. I had the itch to run it so Joey helped spot me through. Surprisingly it wasn't too eventful, a little grinding on some rims, and a few scrapes on the diff covers.
Joey decided to he'd conquer APH another day, so he went around to the top, and I continued on up the trail. Being that I was by myself I took the bypass around the hill, but it sure was tempting. I think the rock sections would have been doable, but the top ledges would have been a throttle fest.
Exiting the top filter.

Nonetheless though, with some patience I eventually made it up.
