    I just realized that this means John will be gone all day and I won't have anyone to talk to. The rest of you had better step it up a notch. πŸ˜€

    Is there a trailer and tow-rig on alert five?



    are there odds for this run in Vegas?

    Are we betting on which parts will break or how much it will cost to fix them? πŸ˜€

    who other than John went?



    I'll wager a dime that John's front axle gave up somewhere in the hub area.



    I'll wager a quarter he had problems with his transfer case.



    cost to fix? we don't discuss cost.

    Closed Mondays.

    I didn't break anything πŸ˜›

    Damage = a bent tie rod and a torn fender flare.

    And yes...I did make it through 😏 😎 😏 😎 😏 😎 😏

    We got caught behind a group of old CJs at the spillway. It took us over an hour to reach the bowl. Once we got to the bowl, we zipped past them. Then we had to get past another group of about five assorted rigs and then we passed a group of quads. It only took us less than 45 minutes to get from the bowl to the Sluice. When the quads caught us playing in the Sluice, they said, "you guys really move through here." πŸ˜€



    Rob tried the Sluice first. He tried the most obvious line, but it didn't work. While he was backing out, he broke his pitman arm. Luckily the last group we passed had a welder. They welded it up so he was able to get back home. That was it for Rob 😒



    I then tried a couple of different approaches but would just get high centered. Rob suggested trying a far left line. That one worked. Those rocks were so freaking BIG!!! All-in-all it took about an hour to figure it out and then run it. It was a great thrill and I'm glad I finally got through it. I'm also glad I got to run it at it's hardest.



    Now we need to go back and get Rob through it so he will stop pouting πŸ˜‰

    I thought we agree that we were not going to lie and tell them the truth that neither of us made it :?:
