I think one was the waterfall and one was the canyon where Zach busted his tie-rod.

relax bob, that's the beauty of superstition you can take your moms grocery getter out there and have a blast. but there are also some rocks and stuf that can make the best built rig beg for mercy... something for everyone

one time i was there this guy had a bone stock 2wd ford expedition with like 8 people in it and he was bombing around the dunes having a blast.....

i'm still bringing josh's old tie rod as a spare

Bob, you can roll with me, I take it easier than these crazies. I will probably go on Lost Dutchman which is pretty easy according to Marc, or I might go on the Rabbit's foot run again which I can attest to it's easyness.

Rabbit's foot is only rated at a 2, and teh trail boss told me that we accidentally did alot of stuff that was meant for the 3 rated groups. Even at that it was fairly easy. I felt that it was exciting, but never felt like my truck was in jeopardy. There was even a stock early 90's extra cab pickup (It was low and long), he maybe had 30's and got through ok....he dragged his butt quite a bit though.

Don't let the solid axle guys creep you out.

hey josh,

ummm....waterfall? NO! ive seen the infamous fart truck video. nah, no way!

seth:

thanks medium difficulty is fine w/ me. anything tight and crazy (like above) that has a likelihood of 50% or greater body damage is definitely out of bounds for my truck

Well, even on Rabbit's foot run we went through a tight section called Wrangler Canyon (Nothing bigger than a Wrangler is said to squeeze through it). It was definitely creepy the first time, but we went back through it the next day and it was nothing and you gotta remember my truck is 6" wider than usual.

It's really a very accomodating place and being in the big group made me feel safer if I did pull the wrong move. Not to mention it's fun getting a ton of curious looks from the 1,000 Jeep guys out there.

I'm gonna bring some wood. I have one of those hitch baskets, so I'll probably leave it at camp during the day. I'm not sure I can fit a tree on that sucker, though.

you guys said wood . I would like to do rabbits foot or lost dutchman, so I'll roll with the majority. Mikey are you bringing all that wood on a trailer or something? I should be able to get lots of pallets from work but have no way to transport them, I was planning on bringing a bunch of cut wood from my dad's. Does anyone know if you can bring a dog?

So bummed I cannot go on this. I guess a best friend's (my sons God Father also) wedding that I am in is pretty important though. Blah, Blah, Blah... The groom has been my spotter and camera guy for the last 2 years of wheelin so I suppose I owe him. I told his chick that we could do it out there like Marc suggested. She did not think it was funny at all.
I got a new Garmin 130 GPS I wanted to try out. So I can be the coordinate king like Josh! Very Nice. Have to catch the next trip. Have lots of fun for me too.
