Well, we got the 2nd one in the books...

It was a beautiful weekend, couldn't of asked for better weather... Everything went off without a hitch... Lots of people, wheeling and drinking around the camp fire was had by all...

We got there Friday night, there was a few already there and set up... Most sat around the fire BS'ing and tossing a few back the first night...

Post up what pics you've got...
 
This first set of pics were stolen from Dustin...

Saturday we started out up at the Rainer Vista to play on the new rock crawl we built a few weeks earlier...

Here's the short section on the up hill side... I got hung up pretty good and ended up backing out instead of pulling cable...

Then Donnie hit the long side going down... Had to stack in a couple places, but he made it without a tug or pulling cable...

Here's me going down... Had one trouble spot, but made it through without winching...

Then Shane hit it and got bound up... He did have to pull cable, but made it untouched the next day...

On Saturday, out of 15-20 rigs up at the rock crawl there were only 3 of us that made it through on our own...

After that we went back to camp for a meeting... Went out for an evening run and separated my front d-line and stripped out one hole on the 205/400 adapter... So, the rest of the weekend I was in 2wd just watching... Don't have any pics from the evening run... Others might, so I'll post them if they pop up anywhere...


Edit: Found some pics Shane had from my d-line coming apart...

Great weekend, great people, great weather, great wheeling, great prizes...


Just Awesome...


Thanks to everyone one that showed, helped or donated...
 
Awesome pics. I was there too, it was a great day. Good weather, good wheeling, and fortunately no breakage for anyone in my group (just a bent tie rod). I have a few vids I will try to post later of some rigs on the log crawl and the alder hole. The log crawl was pretty brutal on Sunday, the only rig I saw make it was the Fiatt.
 
Here is a video of one of the larger rigs (cant remember the name of the driver) at the alder hole.

I have some more of these if I can get the links to work. This is from the hill climb on Rainier Vista.
 
The hill climb looks about 100 times better than it was when we were out there on the 7th, it was just a plain torn up mess.
 
The rocks are really popular! :awesomework:

How many vehicles took the bypass vs. hard line?

We fixed the hard line on the hill climb before the event. We dragged some rocks down and filled a couple of holes that would have stopped most. However, being dry it was MUCH easier than even on Friday.

Only about 1/4 of the rigs took the bypass.
