Favorite place to wheel?

[Herzog]

Oh, I know what area you are talking about. There are quite a few trails over on that side, so I don't know what trail you are talking about. Sounds like it was fun though!

Let's get something planned so we can get a good turn out. Are we wanting to run this in the winter or should we wait till spring?

I would like to wait tillspring so I have a jeep to drive.

I am ready to go now. The Eva-Conover road would be cool. We went down last winter and had a blast.....

I went through Coal Wash a few months ago after a flash flood, and had the time of my life. My in-laws run cattle down in the swell, and pointed me in the right direction for a couple cool tails.....

Then again, we had better do it soon cause I ain't gonna be in the states long

Pritchet & Rusty nail are fun. Lower Helldorado is a good one, it is especially fun at night! Last trip down, we ran it forward & backward one night. It only took us about 3 hours with 5 rigs. We even had to stop & change a popped tire.

I gotta say Rubicon is a total blast!!! It's got some killer wheeling and the scenery doesn't get much better!

Something a bit closer to home........Lower Helldorado is a riot in the dark with your truck full of people that have come along as spectators

Adam...are we gonna' hit up Lower Hells this CM if I can make it down there?

 

[Box Rocket]

I'm sure we will. Actually, there is a good chance I'll miss CM this year but we have the Pre-run in March and I'm sure we'll try to hit Helldorado sometime during the pre-run.

If you feel like running it during CM, just talk to Ryan or Will or even Dan and I'm sure you can get several that will join you. It's a blast at night and Ryan can tell you about running Upper at night!!!!!

 

[cruiseroutfit]

I'm down...I just have to see how school goes and what kind of cash flow I have at the time...did you run upper with Ryan?

 

[Box Rocket]

Just rode shotgun but I did winch him out at the end. That was one insane night!

That was when Ryan still had his mild lift and 33's with completely stock drivetrain and gearing. That was a fun to watch.

I'm still an "Upper Virgin" but I'll lose my virginity soon enough. We were going to run it the last day of our trip down there with the club last September but I busted a motor mount on Lower the night before and there's enough twisting on Upper that I didn't want to risk it since I had to drive my truck home with my wife and two boys. So we just ran Hell's Revenge and Lower again.

How far did Ryan make it? Anyone got video of the trail?

 

[Box Rocket]

We didn't take any video. Ryan's problem was that he was the only on on the trail and didn't have a winch. He had some trouble in a couple places and if he had a winch and could have just moved 1 or 2 feet he'd have been fine. It also didn't make sense to try to get one of the other rigs in to where he was. Also, he ran out of fuel right and was stuck pretty bad right at the big breakover rock in the middle. At that point it was about 3am so we left the truck overnight and came back the next morning with fuel and a comealong to get him unstuck. Other than that he made it all the way entirely under his own power.......except for winching up the waterfall at the end....obviously.

I gotta say, it was an awesome spectacle.

I bet, I'da loved to see that. How hard is the trail with the exception of the winch/waterfall hill? Do you just turn aroung and come back down it or is there a way in?

 

[Box Rocket]

You can actually bypass ALL of Lower Helldorado to get to Upper if you want to. Once you winch up the waterfall, there's a pretty mild dirt road that leads you out of the canyon.

Thanks dude!...

So you must be slower at work... Last time I was talking to you, you had a huge project that was due soon. Things more comfortable now?

 

[Box Rocket]

Actually, it's worse now. They just made me the new Art Lead on our project and there's a ****load of stuff to be done before the next big deadline in a few weeks. If it doesn't come together, there's a good chance the project will be cancelled.

If I can make it happen though, I'll be sitting in the proverbial "catbird seat".

That sucks... hope you can pull it off...

The best place for me is:
