To start, this past Saturday at the Badlands can be summed up as...

ROCKIN!!!

Here's the photos-

HavenSOV · 10-19-2008, 07:39 PM

Just a few, anyone else that got photos feel free to post.

Thanks to Jeeps Gone Wild for a great run and great decorations. I recommend this run to anyone that can make it next year.

Also thanks to the Jeep Things group that lead our little group out of the park by way of the Green trail backwards.

Finally! Some pics...

Glad you had a good time. I'm still bummed about not being able to make it out.

Here are some pics I quoted from the original "Haunted Trail Run" pre-trip thread.

Have no fear my friend

axle killer

And me killing the 35

Our special buddy came along, but he made us mad and had to axe him.

Well for those of you who did not see me do it, I broke my yoke and u-joint for my rear drive shaft in the rock quary. Peer pressure can be a bit$$. It was decent driving home with just front wheel drive, but I definitiely would have preferred to have my rear wheel back.

its gonna start with something like "see what had happened was....."

Red_Smoke · 10-20-2008, 03:41 PM

actually it was more like "watch this" and "yeah, sure, I think we can do that"

There are 3 rocky climbs right beside the lake where we played last time. So last time we did the far left (even Recoil's LWB LJ) and the far right. This time, we did the center climb which was nothing but a rock wall

Where's Gribbles at? Last time out I think he was itching to try that spot!

it was in the quarry trying to go up a rock face kinda just past the double bump and to the left.

He broke that yoke at the rear of the T-case right into 3 pieces.

I know he has a pic of the damage.

Also the samuri green YJ was trying to get up that rock face just before him.
I would think somebody took a pic?

okay here's what i've got in the way of pics. apologies i'm not much of a photographer. i'm up for free lessons if you've got the knack and the time, otherwise bear with me.

i tried to get some video, but my camera and i had a disagreement about what means record and what means pause, lol. i ended up with footage before and after what i wanted to record but missed the good stuff sorry. after editing out lots of footage of feet, rocks, trees, and sky, i wound up with maybe a minute that might be watchable.

if anyone else has pics, help me out here.
jeffro, i hope you can make it next time.
