Snakes 11.11.10

[sixstringsteve]

I had a blast. Nice to meet you Goose and Rich.

Sorry to those in ATR, I left the gas station at 3 to get a head start, because my rig takes so long to get out there. Plus, there were people meeting us at the trailhead at 3:30 and I didn't want to miss them. Sorry we weren't all one big group.

It was a freezing cold day, and there was a big mud/slop puddle right at Wayne's World, so nobody made it up. Here's a vid of the trip. Goose's son (11) did a great job driving!

It was a cold one. I ended up doin my normal lines in 3 wheel drive. Only to lose a cap on a u-joint on my front drive line. Hear a clank clank driving out of the first mind dump. Boo. Great to finally meet Goose. And seeing people I havn't seen for awhile.

Hey, you just hit 1000 posts! And your truck looked great. Sorry I didn't chat with ya, i was pretty obsessed about getting to WW before dark. If I had known it would have been impossible, I would have chatted more and taken my time earlier.

Thanks for posting the vid, it was a good time, Im glad i made it. I ended up putting a Jeep with a smoked clutch on the back of my trailer. I think he needed lower Tcase gears so he didn't have to ride the clutch so much..

I'm glad I was able to make it. Me and the wife had a great time. Nice to meet some new people, and catch up with others. I wish we could have went all the way up to eagles nest, but we had to go pick up our daughter. Anybody try eagles nest?

BTW Steve, your date is wrong in the title of this thread.

Well Steve, I was coming down sunshine canyon when you were on rattlesnake so I just missed you. I really wanted to see you and your truck! That was my white powerstroke down in the parking lot.

Goose gave it hell on eagles nest, but he didn't make it.

Ya steve I wanted to chat with you, and meet you in person for the first time, and look over that sick truck, but oh well. Hopefully next time.

WOOT! 1001 posts

Man, I barely missed you. I saw it there and thought "that'd be a great tow rig"

Just a few pics I promised to post up. Good run nice to meet some of you.

its all good i didn't get to the trail head till about 440 and me and my friend ran up sun shine and ended up waiting for about 20min, but other then that it turned out being a good run for some.... camel lost a u-joint leading to loosing the back half of the drive shaft, and a grand that was with us broke a chromo shaft and broke all the grade 8 bolts on the steering box up above WW so that was the end of the trip for us

 

[Coco]

Thank D rat! Thanks for the pics!

 

[Goose]

another fun-ride on the snakes! It was cool to hook up with you guys!
It was great to meet everyone there, Its fun to put a name with a face!
as we went up the trail I thought that steve might get his wish (w/w). The trail was fairly dry, except for the big mud hole in front of W/W! sorry man! I really wanted to see you climb it! I was hoping the nest might be dry, it was muddy as well. But that didnt stop me from having some fun on it! we turned around at the nest, there were at least 3 rigs right above the nest. a runner that sheered his rear d-line & open in front. So we flipped around & drove back down through the trail. I had a blast! I told rich, we should hit it again when it snows.
(here's a clip of my son, in the boulders) Ill post up some pics later
