Seattle area, Mild off-roading weeknights?
#45
I've been home long enough to start cropping pics.
I'll post a couple in a few minutes and the rest tomorrow.
Wow!
Thanks again to _all_ of you guys (and Amber!) for taking out a newbie. I'm no longer a poser!

Damn! You guys are FAST!!!!
I had a blast tonight. It was an excellent mix of Forest Service roads and *slightly* more challenging stuff.
<grin> While I really enjoyed the hill climb on the way up, the way down in the dark was a whole new ball game.
There was a pretty good pucker factor with going first and launching myself off that edge into oblivion... I suspect everyone else felt it too when they were sitting at the top waiting to drop off onto a trail they couldn't even see. Thanks for the spot JRuz... 
MPulver, I applaud you. That's a sharp rig you are building out there and to take on that hill climb on your first run is damned impressive. Nicely done, nicely done.
Thanks to all who made it, it was a blast.

Here're all of my pics (I'm too wound up to sleep anyway)

I'll add babble and stuff tomorrow.
I think we counted 5 digital cameras (plus the previously mentioned digital video) so there's a LOT more coming.

All I can say is tired, so very very tired! A great time was had by all, the hill climb being the highlight of the trip, the trip down almost necessitating the use of a squeegee on my cloth interior seat afterwards. I've got pics and a couple of videos if someone has the space to host them- one of Rob and one of Jim making the climb up. Will post other pictures soon!
