It's Always Something!

I was totally burned out from wheeling last year and that is why I just took the winter off. I just left my heep sitting in the garage broke, as long as it was broke I was not even tempted to go wheeling. Getting back out there this weekend felt good.

Oh yeah, this weekend. It totally sucked. We got soaking wet and we did not get any wheeling. Slim fixed my rig, he was waiting on me at his shop when we rolled in at 1:00 a.m. friday night. When we head out to the trails we go to Black Sheep Blvd to start the day and David goes up, then I head up and then Pat. Water is going every where, it was unbelievable the water that was coming down the hills, and it was moving fast. Once Pat was up we continue on and after a couple hundred yards up the trail I look back to see Pat walking up the trail and his rig nowhere in site. His died at the top of the waterfall and would not crank. So for the next 4-5 hours we spent getting it out of the trail and headed back to the trailer tired, wet and disgusted. We loaded up and went back to the hotel and showered. We went to the video/pizza store and ate. Went back to the hotel and crashed for the night. We got up and headed home Sunday to sunny skies.



This was by far the worst weekend wheeling any of us have ever had. And to top it off when Pat got home he fawking cranked his buggy and backed it off the trailer.... laughing1


Believe it or not, I still had a good time. I got to play on some pretty sick lines while Pat was scratching his head. Sure it was not ideal, but thats just how it goes sometimes.

I am like David, I still had a good time but not getting to wheel was a let down.

We brought cameras but unless I missed it, they stayed in the truck. It flooded all day long. I would be interested to know how much rain actually fell. When we came out, the main road was completely under water. Where W&W meets up with the main road it was about 2' deep. Jeffs ledges and W&W were at least 2-3 foot deep.
 
How was the change from the CJ to the buggy, Dave? I am sure you were pleased even though you didn't get much seat time in.......

The little riding I did was a lot of fun. Things I couldn't have done in the Jeep.
 
Matt I definately fill your pain on this. I spend way more time having my jeep worked on than I do wheeling.
Think about it, This time last year I had the Supercharged motor rebuilt was down for a couple of months. Then I decided to swamp motors. It went down right after the June Jam, then the next ride I made was RBD07, rode a couple more times and here I am again rebuilding another motor. Who knows when I will ride again. I have to work the ShamRock weekend so it will be after that.
I have spent over 10grand in the last year and wheeled about 6 times. :drinkers:
