Hole in the Rock Trail - 3-6-13

[Kevin B.]

What kinda rock is above there? It looks like the way to fix it might be to cut into the cliff face. The water is going to come down right there no matter what you do, and even concrete culverts get washed out with enough time (see the road to Mineral Bottom). But if you cut under the cliff, the water will just go right by.

I was on the opposite side of the truck... and the 2 wheels were both in the air.

Who is the dufus that was spotting him?

 

[Spork]

Those small tires help keep the center of gravity low... ;-) I thought I was going over.

 

[frieed]

You scared us all right there, man. I'm so glad it came down on the good side.

I was wondering that as well....

How about the video Eric? I want to see what led to these shenanigans

Steve has to learn how to use the image stabilization features in Premier Pro first. I shot that with my DSLR, hand-held, with a 200 mm lens and it's shaky enough to induce nausea.
The scenario was Spork had tried going up a line at about 45* in the picture but was stopped by the ledge seen at his front passenger tire. He was backing up to try a line towards Steve the dufus to avoid the ledge. Instead of backing straight back down and turning into the new line, he got a bit sideways on the hill.

continuing.... while side was he started backing up a ledge that lead to the 2 wheel stand.

What is with the arm out of the window? Could have been a disaster if things had not worked out the way they did.

Dumb move quickly remedied... (keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times until it comes to a complete stop....).

How did the trailer do on this trip. I am going with a Jeepster club the first weekend in May and am considering taking my trailer which is a converted jeepster.

He ended up turning around before it got nasty (not because of the trailer though). I'm not sure how it would have done on the tougher sections.

Last year thefirstzukman took his offroad trailer through the entire trail behind his sami. He is an incredible driver, and his trailer was built for crawling.

He takes it through some pretty nasty stuff. I know that it took some getting used to but he's one of the best drivers I've seen so it doesn't surprise me he handles it so well.

Hhe's one of the best drivers I've seen so it doesn't surprise me he handles it so well.

Not to mention one of the nicest guys around, and probably the greatest asset to any wheeling trip i've been on. He's a dang good mechanic, he's prepared, and he's a paramedic too. It doesn't get much better than that.

 

[glockman]

Agreed. He made me rethink my trail tool kit.
