Hey guys, we got back a night early because of the rain out in Clayton. Fun trip, took us 10 hours there and 10 hours back. We rolled in around 7:30 am on Friday and were on the trails by 11:00. Paul and I rode for a couple hours, and then then the rest went for a night ride later on. Saturday we hit a lot of hard trails, fun times though. P put on a show at the exit to Blacksheep Blvd, Ben broke a rock stub, Heath popped a tire, and I broke a 35 Spline Yukon on Slim's Slope. Rained like a bitch on Sunday, so we all decided to pack up early and come home. I had a good time, but good weather would of made it much better.

Good times. I love Clayton, I just wish it was not so damn far away. We got back in town in 8 hours, that was driving normal and only 2 stops for diesel and one potty stop.

I would love to be able to make 3 or 4 trips there a year, but that would be all of the trips I could justify.
 
Good times, good wheeling, good to see everybody. Had a blast. Thanks to those needing thanks and Heck yes to those that had a good time !!! 8)


(my **** didnt break.. Im a happy man !! )
 
Yeah Wyatt you were way more hardcore than any of us :) Wheelin Sunday in the rain is just not something I was up to doing, the Texas group was awesome on the rocks.

If I would not of had a caliper fall off (again), we would of kept riding but when that happened and all the MS guys bailed it was time to go.

It is much more technical "crawling" The only thing I felt like I abused on my rig was the clutch. I dont have the gearing, gearing, gearing for all that ! :D


I only recall really "hitting" two spots in Blacksheep Blvd, the rest was get a line, let it climb. Alot of dang rocks in Clayton.

looks like yall had a good time the rocks look big and slick good times
Actually the rocks have a lot of grip. The ones that have constant water running over them do get slick and you can bust your ass on them, ask me and several others how we know. Other than those the rocks are kind of abrasive and there is ALOT of grip.
