Dang it now i'm a little sad I didn't check this before.

Should have texted me

Oh well hopefully it was a good one.

Had a great time. I again didn't have a camera but I know that lots of pics were taken on this run. I'm sure that the other ones will be posted soon either in this thread or another one in this section.

I'd like to join up some time... I don't know how any one would feel about me tagging along in my minivan of a Jeep.

My minivan Jeep was there.

Had a good time guys/gals, nice to meet everyone. The weather was pretty good the whole time and we made it up all the way to the top without any problems. Also, I think we set a record for the highest altitude location to change a tire.

Zach can tell more...

In deed we did!...Valve on tire was crushed closed from a roc..so i grab'd a pair of plyers..squeezed it back into shap so i could fill it when we air back up...well it was good enuff..but i guess not good enuff for me..squeezed it again and POP!!..core of valve stem came out and the tire was gone...so 1 hi-jack and 13k ft with freezing fingertips, and my spare 31" later..and we were ready to go!

(31")

swapping reaer to front b4 drive home

Just a note to say thanks for the impromptu spotting on the rocks before the "Big Hill" climb - the "guy in the blue TJ"

otisdog · 06-01-2009, 08:44 AM

Looks like you guys had a great time - dang I wish I could have went. Got stuck doing something job related.
I'm surprized at the lack of snow up there.

Thanks to everyone that showed up, Jessica and I had a great time.

Unfortunately Hooligan wasn’t the only one with some trail damage. I too had a little in the end. (Wrinkled front fenders from the decent and a severely gashed tire from the inside of my fender) Guess I need to get some bigger front spacers to compensate for that new heavy bumper.

I also wanted to give special thanks to:

James for getting this organized and leading us to the trail. I think some of the pics rballman got of your dog are the best... esp the one with him looking out the window at the mountains in the distance.

To rballman and 303hooligan for their spotting on the obstacles, I don’t think I could have made it up them with out you guys.

And a shout out to Shag for his lead foot & keeping things interesting.. LOL. I swear you were going to break an axle, pop a bead, and even flop it at one point…. Nice job managing to keep everything intact.

I will post a link to my pics later this evening when I get them up. Combined with rballmans we have a ridiculous amount of pics. And on that note, where are the rest of the pics that hooligan took, when are you going to post them too?

No problem on the spot buddy.

Let us know what you decide to do with that tire with the big gash.

303Hooligan posted a link to his pics a couple post before this one but here is his link again:
