Clayton Dec 2007

DavidsCJ7 · Dec 31, 2007

We took a trip up to Clayton, OK after Christmas. Me, Pat, Nolen, Carl and Jim got there Thursday afternoon. We quickly unloaded and took off on a evening/night run. We hit Wet and wild, Jeffs ledges, Green Momba and the start of Black Sheep Blvd.

Friday we started off on Black Sheep Blvd. About half way up Pat cut a valve stem and Nolen broke a front drive shaft and craked his Tcase. We got Pat fixed up and Nolen winched out of the trail and continued on. We finished BSB and ran lower and upper Cake Walk. We then made our way over to the lower part of Slims Slope, skipped the middle section, and then ran the upper part of Slims slope. On the upper portion I broke a rear 35 spline D60 shaft which also took out a carrier bearing. After winching myself out, we spent half the night fixing my jeep. We also found a broken CV joint on Pats jeep so we fixed that also.

Saturday we spent the day on the SouthSide. The SouthSide is a little less challenging but fun anyway. We ran 3 stage, Valentine, Snake Pit and a couple of others that I don't know the names of. We finished up about 4:00 and and got loaded up, strapped down and ready for some great Texas BBQ thanks to Jim.

We have been 3 times this year, and plan on going 3 or 4 times next year. I will give you a call next time.

We have some new trails Jimand I are planning on cutting this year, plus we want to get some more traffic on middle Slim's Slope to make it a do-able trail. Lots of potential still right there at Green Acres for some sick buggy trails.

Nolen don't hesitate to hit me up. I'll be there with chainsaw in hand to put in some work. I can't drive, and suck at wrenching but I can put in a days work, and try to look like I know how to drive.
