Elbe Work Party April 25th

jprcrpr94 · Apr 27, 2009

I had a blast yesterday! A friend let me borrow her virgin 87 Toyota extended cab with open diffs and 32" wildcats, and let's just say it's not quite a virgin anymore!:biggrin5: I ran sunrise and alder loop in it and never once had to be pulled up or out of anything!! It does however have a few "character lines" now!:lol: We also cleaned all the mud off of the three bridges on sunrise and picked up about three bags of trash all day.

When we first got there.

After sunrise we headed to alder loop and ran into Horus and a couple of guys from PNWJeeps at a nasty hole.

Grant tried the really nasty hole but didn't quite make it.

Horus yanked him out.

At the top of alder loop, we ran into some Dogpound guys who fed us some very tasty mushroom sausage chili dogs!:drool5: Thanks again!:cheers2:

At the end of alder loop we ran onto the PNWJeep guys again and one of them had broken a track bar bracket on a TJ. Luckily someone had a ready welder, so they tried to repair it.

Unfortunately, they didn't get deep enough penetration and it broke the instant they tried to turn the wheel.

That breathalyzer was a pain in the ass!! It randomly tests while you're driving also, which happened to be in the middle of every other obstacle!

TOPWOP · Apr 27, 2009

Dogboy · Apr 27, 2009

They must have it wired to the point that only who ever put it in can take it out?

I thought the Vista trail was a pretty challenging trail?? That is why I haven't wanted to go on it.

Gabe lost his brakes and went bonzai down a hill and centerpunched a tree. Unibody no likey.:eeek:

The tree wasnt that bad....... We hit harder then that playing bump to pass on the trail...... Going to bed at 4:30 in the morning and getting up at 7:30 am was the part that sucked ass big time.... I think i am still tired from the little run..... :fawkdancesmiley: The guy i feel sorry for was the one with the red yoda that sheared all his steering off on that drop off... It took 3 winches to get it of the stump/overhang. :fawkdancesmiley:
