Headed up through the thick fog and wet this morning to meet the Zombies at the trail and do a little wheeling. There were a LOT of rigs and plenty of board members, sorry don't recall everyon's name on the board, but we started out in the front with Trailblazer, Scottycards in his newly aquired purple TJ from former board member BoulderBob, and Ryan in the red CJ-7 buggy. Sorry didn't get many pics, Carrie wasn't with me, and my buddy Jon who rode with me was having to much fun ridding Was wet and foggy when unloading

Dropped in no problem

Then trailblazer slipped on bunker hill, punched the throttle and pulled off a beautifully executed flop.

Scottycards enjoying the new rig.

Didn't catch who this was but after loosing a driver front bead, he was on his way dropping down bunker hill

Another Built TJ dropping in

We then headed up to the A-hole because of the traffic piling up where we caught up with Mushrommax, Tantonio who just linked the rear of his YJ, Jkimmel and his buddy John in an FJ40 buggy

Scottycards working his way up

While Ryan was airing it out we started hearing some cheering in the background saw some smoke

One of the blue buggies managed to put it on it's side

On to the exit

I had so much fun going up the exit, I decided to turn around and run the trail the other direction

Heading up bunker Hill

Jkimmel and John decided to follow

I have some videos to upload, i'll work on this tonight and tomorrow, but this should at least get the thread going. Plenty of fun guys out there, was definately a GREAT day!

The Money Pit had no mercy for it's Dana 44 front, he broke both the passanger and the driver side Didn't stick around to see how that played out

Great pics! Lots of carnage! I haven't once done that trail that i didn't bust up something. I haven't been back in yrs but now i think my YJ is up for it in its current state.
And yeah that is truly one nasty short trail.
