    I am planning a run to Little Sluice and the Soup Bowl on Sunday Sept. 2oth if anyone would like to join. You can run them or just watch for amusment for those of us who will !!!



    My plan is to leave early around 0630 having breakfast in Auburn before we leave.





    Time permitting, we might run to the bottom of Old Sluice and back up it and out to Loon.

    I need to do this around this date because Deer season starts the following weekend and then duck season starts at the end of deer season and I will be gone hunting until the end of January 😁

    Don't forget to take pics for proof 😏

    Unfortunately, I can't do a weekday any more with my kids in school.

    Come on...you can trust Rob if he says he made it, he made it. Take pictures so we can see the dents. 😀



    I'm out too. I doubt the 4Runner will be up and going at that point.

    There was some intrest in this run at the meeting. There may be some tag-alongs to watch you break your rig 😂

    I'm definately going, but I'll be cheering for you to make it through, not breaking.

    I'm on the fence if I'm going to run it or not. It will depend on the crowd gathering. I hate crowds 😈

    Ya...we'll see if you make it before you start taliking smack... 😁

    No pressure...after putting those big meats on, it should be easy for you... 😛

    I might be able to go. The only problem is that I leave for McCould the following day and if I break my Jeep, I'm in trouble. 😲

    The Little Sluice looked exactly like it did last year...no different.

    Rob walked his Jeep right through it with absolutely no difficulty 😎

    And he ran Soup Bowl twice for good measure...first time he walked right through it...second time got a little fun.



    I was a sissy this time and kept to the main trail :girly:

    I'm glad Rob finally got it done. It's been a dream for many of us to run the Little Sluice (admit it or not). The fact that he made it so easily is a testiment to the nice rig he built and his marginal driving skills 😉 Congrats Rob, now go fix your scratches...
