A bit of winch action with Bobby's winch doing what five guys pushing couldn't do.

I'll be posting pictures and video in time.

What a fun trip. Thanks to everyone that showed up and made for a great time. The day started out nice and easy with a lunch stop. Marshann laid out a spread of food that looked like we were at the Hometown Buffet. After lunch we were treated to a real live version of Cops. Right as we were passing by some shady looking guys that were target shooting near some cabins, three San Berdo Sherriffs roll up with guns drawn. After determining that Paul was not the bad guy (at least not this time) they went after the shooters. By the time the last truck passed they had all of them face down in the dirt. Very exciting. After a few miles down the road we entered the rocky road of doom. It took about 2 hours to get 8 trucks up this section, Bobby even had to bust out the winch when Stan got high centered. After that it was getting late so we found a nice place to camp while others left for home, or so they tried. That's another story that I will let Marshann tell. Sunday morning we broke camp and said our goodbyes as most went home. Bobby and I went into town, gassed up the trucks and proceeded to the Gold Mtn trail. I had done this trail two times in the past and didn't think it was very hard. Well let me tell you, with all the use that trail has been getting it seemed a lot rougher. I got stuck in one spot and had to have Bobby pull me out. (Thanks Bobby) Due to my lack of driving skills, I got myself in a pinch in another section and got a nice souvenir to take home.

After we got back to town we picked up Marshann from the Motel 6 and met Tom and Shannon for lunch. We could not of asked for better weather or a better group of people. I just hope that we don't wait another year to do another trip like this again.

Kill the headlights and put it in neutral.

Good times.  Thanks for getting the ball rolling on this one Don.
I like sammiches.  And bacon.  Sammiches with bacon.  And chips.  Lots of chips.

The four trucks that headed towards the 38 took some goat trail that looked like another truck hadn't run this year yet.

I spoke with her about 2:30.  The parts had just arrived and they say she will be on the way home to feed her 138lb puppy tonight  :)

It's always an adventure  ;D

When in doubt - Gas it out

Looks like that rocky stretch around and after that sharp right turn on 2N02 has gotten a whole lot rockier than when we were there in February of 2006.

Well, maybe now he is only 136 lbs.  :D  He still had water in his bowl so I'm pretty sure he was drinking from the swimming pool.  When I got home, I fed him but he ignored the food.  He was more interested in showing me how glad he was to see me.  When he finally did eat, he just slowly and methodically ate his food.  Fortunately for me, he is not a big foodie.  I took him up to the hills to get his run out yesterday morning and it appears things are back to normal for him.
