October 20th AF Canyon/Mary Ellen Gulch

[rdneckride]

Made it up about 1145 had to make sure OMGBECKI made it tot he correct exit plus my son and i had a few stops for batteries. Sorry we missed you MED.... We drove up the main road and made the left at Mary ellen gulch. We drove up top the mines and ate lunch up there. The main trail up the canyon was very busy with quads, side by sides, and dirtbikes. Stopping in most places on the main trail was fairly dangerious. Once on the trail to Marry ellen gulch FS trail 111 we did not see another vehicle untill our way back. Both of our vehicles did great and we both had one or two spots that anything underneath scraped. I am happy with my cheap sliders and how well they worked. With my Zuki being only on 215-75-15's I think I only hit about three times total. I noticed that the lifted jeep that OMGBECKI was driving bumped twice. Though he was taking a rougher line than me in the pleaces he bumped. Can't wait till the wife gets me my new tiers for christmas. It would be a welcome addition.

The manualy steering on my Zuki with the locker was a work out and I may feel it in the am but I was surprised how often I could just let the vehicle ride the trail and it would stay on track and not have a problem staying on the trail. Here are the images that my 7 year old boy took. I have weeded out all the scenery and blurry stuff.

Here is a link to the first set I uploaded.
