Thanks for a killer time! It was great to meet some new faces and check out all the rigs. Mikey - Thanks again for the carne, we all know Ranchos is the bomb. M aybe next time I will actually go wheeling with you all and not have to deal with "technical difficulties". One thing is for sure, there will be some lineup changes on the next trip.. You guys got a good thing going. How bout a trip to some trees next.

 

I was actually thinking about starting a thread about corral canyon two weekends from now.

 

corral canyon hmm...... i think i might be down for that

 

It was a bit scary for me, but I stayed calm and made it through. Once it was all over I was a bit shakey, but nothing a few beers and carne asada couldnt fix

 

Not sure how you stayed too clam in this position but you did.

 

Sweet pics! Marc, glad you made it out of that on four wheels. Superstition has a reputation of taking its toll, at least on me. Count me in for Corral Canyon. Mikey I have 100 miles on AAA now just in case


That pic reminds me of summer camp back in the day.

 

Really too bad you couldn't make this one Josh. It was one of the best so far!

 

marc was very cool about it when he got back to camp when i saw the pics i was like "HOLYS@#T!!!!!!!!" he says he stayed calm but i know he pulled about half of his seatcushion out of his arse after that one
josh we'll get out there again, did you get some billet arms?

 

I know, it just wasnt in the stars. Lots of stuff came up and went down the over last few weeks. There's always the future. How did all the GPSs work out??

 

It worked great. I still need to download some maps, but the waypoints I entered got me right where I wanted to be. I really liked how it tracked my course. No more going in circles confused in the dunes.

 

My GPS works fine I am just too stupid to use it to its full potential. I am thinking about taking that class at REI to get more smarterer.

 

The funny pic of the trip goes to......

 

Ryan had told me my truck was leaning on the way home. Looks like my wheelstand tweaked my drivers side torsion bar as it sits at least an inch, maybe 2 inches lower on that side now. I will try to adjust it next weekend.

 

Um, I'm holding on for dear life on the OUTSIDE of the truck, why is everyone worried about how calm Marc was!!??!!

By the time my hands were off of the top of his truck and on the side and bumper I was sure it was going over. It had moved another 6-8" further than I thought it possibly could.

I was so excited about not getting bucked off, I decided to do a front flip down the trail after that Got the trail rash on my legs/arms/shoulders/back to prove it too. I'm just glad that Seth didn't get that on video too.

 

hey marc did you show your wife those pics... ? my wife most of the time looks at the trip pics like i look at a housewares catalog but, when she saw the pics of your wheelstand she was tripping!!!!

 

The highlight of the trip for me was seeing Rob again. That guy is one bad mammajamma. Watching him save Marc's rig and then eating some trail proved to me that he is well rounded.

This week is looking pretty swamped. I have big ideas for the videos, They might take a while, but they will be worth the while. I just wish I had a better camera operator. I sucked and John blew. I'll make the most of it, though.

 

Allright, Marc, here's one for you. I still need to compile all the other footage into another video, but I felt like I needed to get video of your "incident" up on here in a timely manner. Stay tuned for the next video.
