A 9 hour drive would be tough knowing it was a shakedown run but Harlan is definitely a badass place to ride. 10,000+ acres, miles upon miles of trails, everything from mild to wild, and this ride is one of the best each year imo.

Did I mention I'm ready?

Haha, hopefully next year I will get to go

Yes sir. Added a sway bar and put air in the freshly rebuilt ORI's on this thing. Looks like it will be there also. Gonna be fun watching it work. Since we put it together I haven't had the chance to wheel with it yet.

With this information we may be able to show up!! Just need enough room for our 40' trailer!

There is plenty of room for parking a long trailer there especially if you get there Thursday if not there is lots of spots over at the Everts side

Last I heard black mountain took over the everts bath house area. I heard it's not first come first serve anymore. We called and reserved our spots for fall crawl. Might be something to call and double check. I have been wrong before.

I think they had me double booked for some reason...so cabin 4 should be available...

Beerj · Oct 1, 2018

I called down today and they said they have plenty of parking for trucks and trailers just spending the day.

Sounds great Donnie! I am gonna get in touch with Poolman one more time and try to talk him in to making this trip.

Beerj · Oct 2, 2018

Once again, another Harlan Hardline Ride in the books. Weather was great even though it was a little warm. My group had a tough day Friday but we made up for it on Saturday.

Thanks to rafter b2000 and Amanda for the grub Friday night. I kinda needed it after my day of parts gathering and wrenching for my buddy.

I didnt take many pics but the wife tools a bunch. I will try to post some soon once she releases them to the public.

Here is video of me climbing the last ledge of Mason Jar.

A few pics I took.

scooter60 · Oct 8, 2018

Also got an opportunity to walk around this gem during the ride. Very nice work Partially Committed. I love the look and finish on this buggy. Good to talk to you Saturday night. Sorry I didnt get your name.

Cool pics thanks ! That biggy and that 4dr Taco are SEXY drool

Beerj · Oct 8, 2018

I'll have to check what the wife got for pics. However, I do have a short video of Ben's midnight recovery about 1/2 way up Shameless. He broke an axle and we decided it would be quicker to have Donnie tow him up rather than winching. Unfortunately, the front passenger tire caught a ledge and popped the tire, broke the rim and pulled the unit bearing apart. With no ski's in sight, this was the best option to get the dragging knuckle over the ledge. https://youtu.be/be5Qzr6_anY
After that, Matt's Explorer doubled as a tow truck and with Bens front bumper resting on Matt's rear, he got towed back around to the parking area by Waterfall. We also discovered another Lions Den on the way home.

Matt really should start an off-road recovery business for his tow truck-Explorer.

Our group had the scariest experience ever in all our years.....

We left Crawfords cry on Sat night and were headed to Whitetail, just cruising the trail, when one of the buggys in our pack just dissappeared off the side of the mountain. He didn't see a narrow section of trail with a wash out. Dropped his right front off the ledge which spun him facing down, did 2 endo's, hit a tree, then twisted around between two trees and did a few more endo's to the bottom of the ravine where he landed on all fours. Buggy still ran and drove, but he did have a gash on his head from hitting the cage. Only way out was to continue down hill and make a new trail. Had to winch down backwards the whole way because of steep rock ledges until he finally made it out but after all of that there was surprisingly little damage to buggy or people. Damn that could have been so much worse in a number of ways! He was very, Very lucky after all that!

No pics. It was dark and not important at the time.

Glad he was ok. Sounds horrible

Holy hell. Glad everyone is ok and I assume was wearing harnesses. That could have been horrible.
