In all honesty Martinez is a difficult trail, you really need some more experience before you tackle that one. You are more than welcome to come out, but I would have advised you against taking you truck through at this stage in your wheeling career.

You'll see what I mean if you ride it.

The stupid thing is giving me a bit of a headache here in the final stretch.

I mean, what the heck...? Bust my knuckles to give Elvota a nice "new" powerful motor and she gets all finicky. Ungrateful so and so.

Jim sent me a CD of all the pics he took at the Table Mesa run. If anyone wants a copy, I can bring you one on the Martinez run.

Just letting you guys know that I won't be making Martinez tomorrow, but not for lack of trying. I just couldn't get all the loose ends tied up today, and then ran into a heater line issue which has me sunk for now.

I was 50/50 taking a vehicle that I had just done this much work on to the trails anyway, but the decision was made for me regardless.

Have a good run. Post up some pics... always good scenery out there.
