Double Dub wash AZ 4'11

[Symon623]

Since it snowed the weekend before when we had originally planned to do this trail but we hit the snow one last time, 1 week later it was 80

 

[Symon623]

What a day...... the trail, the company, the weather were all as good as it gets. hard to imagine that last weekend it was snowing here and today it was 80

 

[Symon623]

The road in;

 

[Symon623]

In the wash;

We set off to fine some fun;

Rick found some;

 

[Symon623]

My turn;

 

[Symon623]

I missed BOVADS comin up as I was parking but here's Nate;

The Parking lot;

Big Jim's Turn;

 

[Symon623]

Bull's turn;

Mtn Rat;

You'll notice the JK in trhe background, that was Rob and he opted out of the run at this point...... He didnt feel comfortable continuing. I give him credit for this and not tryin to bust his junk all up trying to keep up........

 

[Symon623]

Here's Rick doing his turtle impression which would be a re-occuring theme for many today;

Nate Bluebird wheelbase was not likin this climb;

Pick a line as tough as you want;

 

[Symon623]

Bull gettin around the "turtle rock"

Mtn Rat comin through;

 

[Symon623]

Right around the next corner;

And Rick found the next ledge;

 

[Symon623]

I tried an optional line;

 

[Symon623]

BOVADS comin up to the optional line;

 

[Symon623]

Kaisties turn;

The Bluebirds wheelbase was gettin him again. With 3 out of 4 climbin this was all it took to hang him up;

Righ before this pic the door was much closer and a good thing it was already trail clearenced.....

 

[Symon623]

Bull had a shot;

Mtn Rat;

Wow I suck at takin action pics......... I'm spoiled by Cristina's pics.

 

[Symon623]

Wasn't long before Rick found the next obstacle to play on...... Here he is going around Cave Rock;

And climbing some rocks right past Cave Rock;

Me, BOVADS and Kaistie are in video here. Then I screwed the camera up and only ogt pics of the rest;

Hers's Big Jim opting to preserve his equipment which we donot blame him one bit.....

I thought I was filming Bull and Mtn Rat but I had the camera set on pic for some reason....:booo:

 

[Symon623]

This is all I got of Bull since I thought I was video taping;

 

[Symon623]

We then had lunch but this is what was in front of us after lunch;

It took me all of 40 feet and I was doin the turtle and needed a strap (only one of the day actually)...... Kaistie went 20 feet and got all wadded up but was able to drive out of it. Big Jim had some troubel too..... take a little break and we for get how to drive.......

it wasnt long and we were up to Windshield frame rock;

Here's Rick taking the bypass;

 

[Symon623]

BOVADS had a peek at the Rock;

But opted for the bypass;

 

[Symon623]

Myself and Nate too opted for the bypass;

While this was going on Big Jim was doin another TC Impression;

Back to Nate;

 

[Symon623]

Big Jim took another bypass to preserve equipment;

Bull did the Winshield rock.

Mtn Rat did the bypass as well;

 

[Symon623]

Movin up the trail;

Kaistie screwin around;

Next up was Kaistie's Krack that is all video to come later.

My batteries were dead for the last

Here's some view pics from the out road;

Was a great day of wheelin with only one strap, me. No winch and the only carnage was Rick punctured a shock near the end of the trail........ great time guys.
