I went to leave today and had a small hole in the sidewall leaking. I run 37x13 boggers, not super common and I dont have a matching spare either. Luckily I have a sami here getting a few things that happened to have the same boggers on it.:awesomework: That explains the mismatch rear wheel.:redneck:

We stopped to see what was making noise on the black 1st gen. It was the birf riding on the housing. It had broke two studs off and pulled the other two almost out.
I told him to get six shooters or bring it over for the 5th stup conv. He was in a hurry and threw it back together anyways.
I tapped the arm back down and we threaded in the two that kinda held sorta. Then used a ratchet strap to hold the arm down on the knuckle. It got us all the way back from the mudholes on mainline.:awesomework: It finnally let loose right before the end of sunrise/mainline junction. Right in the whoops at the end.
So we winched it up tight to the back of Rods toy and towed it like a tow truck down to the road to load it up.:cheer:
We got him on the way home and ran the rest of the day just fine!

Any one ever been down the trail at the end of 9 road in the rock pit?
Mike had mentioned a killer lookout. I have lived here for over 30 years and partied there in school lots. I have never seen it till yesterday!
Way killer! Just walk around the right side till you see a little game lookin trail that goes down. It jets out on a rock out cropping that is awesome. It it a sheer face drop. I climbed out and looked over the edge and you are looking straight down at the tops of mature fir trees! One rock sticks up like a stump, I couldnt resist standing on it. I wish my buddy would have got a pick with it zoomed out to see how High you are!
The first and last pic are the same rock formation that looks like a stump, I circled where I was standing for reference.:awesomework:

I like the video! If you want to make a weekend out of it I can take you to elbe for a day then a friends place (close to elbe) you might like to run. I might have to fire up the stomper for some of the DAY 2 action! Shoot me a PM when you want to come this way and play in the greasy ****!
That thing sounds good! Plenty of throttle in that video! Are you bringing the guy in the red toy thing? He is kinda ***** footin around!:haha:

No Sorry. I was talking about the short 4x4 trail from the pit - off to the right side that leads back to the 9 road and then it's a quick left back into Rainier Vista. That little section of trail isn't on the map, but it is in fact part of the Rainier Vista and will be part of the new maps when they are done.
