Labor Day weekend- Proving Grounds, Helldorados

[Greg]

Saturday we ran the Helldorados & Lower Proving Grounds, and Monday we ran Pritchett and Upper Proving Grounds. (There was no way my truck would survive Upper Proving Grounds, so I parked it in favor of spotting and picture-taking duty.)

Proving Grounds pics first!-

Chris Holley in his '69 Bronco.......1st Obstacle on Upper.

First Obstacle on Upper Proving Grounds........You HAVE to give it the throttle if you even want to think about getting up this!

Notice all 4 spinning tires!

Von in the RockLogic4x4 Toyota-

What you can't see from this angle is the HUGE hole and difficult turn that has to be made while in the hole!! I believe this the 3rd major Obstacle.

I have a bunch of pics that turned out crappy! These were the only good ones of your rig, sorry! (I need a good Digi-cam.)

That stuff just looks really steep. Even with the fact that pictures don't really do anything justice. That is just crazy.

Great pics.

The Helldorado's-

Lower Helldorado had puddles of water from a storm that rolled thru the day before! There was 18" of water in some spots, it was too cool!! We blasted thru Lower in about 20 minutes and took just less than a 1.5 hrs on Upper Helldorado. The following pics are from Upper Helldorado.....

Heres the entrance-

This squeeze is supertight, especially if you are Full-Width like Chris' EB!
