Friday afternoon Test Dummy and myself went up to Tree Phone to camp for the run. Tiny showed up later that night to camp with us.
Saturday morning PullUout, Demontang and Fatboy came up. We left Tree Phones around 11:30 AM and headed up Whites Ridge Crest Trail.
We ran the trail up to to the Make Out hill turn off. We ran into a lot of deep snow patches getting up to that point. PullUout had a noise coming from his front axle u-joint so he swapped it out. Test Dummy and Tiny went on up the crest trail pulling each others rigs out of the snow. I call them on the CB to come back about the time PullUout was done working on his rig.
We started back down the crest trail and then turned off to the Norm Check point. Test Dummy's rig had a problem with the gas petal sticking so we stop so he could fix it. It happen to stick down as he was going through a deep patch of snow so he got stuck. So after he was finish working on his rig, Demontang pull his rig back out of the snow.
Then we headed on to the Norm Check Point.
At the Norm Check Point we looked down at Tree Phones Camp Ground and I took a picture of the rigs that came on the run.
After a quick look, we headed on down the Whites Ridge Crest Trail to the Mid Fork and on down to the Sno-park. We stopped to use the out house and then headed up to Red Saddle and then up Sedge Ridge Crest trail to the rocky climb.
PullUout and Demontang had to leave. We continued up the trail toward Cultus Hole. Again we ran into deep patches of snow. It was a lot of fun trying to get through them. We went until we stuck to rigs at the same time. Fatboy got to try out his winch. You can see he didn't want me to take this picture of his rig stuck. :laughing6:
Here is Tiny pulling my rig out of the snow.
At this point we decided to run the trail back down.
Down at the end of the trail we ran the goat trail down to the South Fork.
At the South Fork we said good bye to Fatboy and headed back up across Sedge Ridge. Once we got back to the Mid Fork, we ran the Whites Ridge Crest trail once again but farther. It got dark on the way up. We ran the trail up to the clearing where the Grey Rock trail goes through. The snow was real deep and we got stuck a few times. It was taking awhile to dig the rigs out and it was getting real late so we headed back to camp at Tree Phones. It was somewhere around 1:30 AM when we finely got to bed.
Sunday morning we waited around camp for awhile to see if Red Feather was going to show up. We didn't see them so we went up to Eagle Nest.
The snow was real soft so we went back to camp and headed home.
I had a great time a got to meet some nice people.
