I will be there in the morning but arriving too late to put my mud tires on for the morning trail ride, do you have an empty shotgun seat? I will be driving Jackie

No major breakages! I did bend a steering damper which I removed, and bent the steering rod. ****** blocked to a tree and pulled it back straight. May be upgrading to a heavier duty setup. Minor rocker panel and passenger door damage, but almost unnoticeable. I expected more since I didn't get my sliders done before the trip.

Got into some fairly gnarly stuff. Great time. Was able to meet up with Tim (Extinct) and Ken (KenInNC). Both were real friendly, had a good time wheeling with them the latter part of today.

Sorry I missed you guys. I was there Friday morning. I drove up from Jax Thursday evening with my son. We hit the trails on Friday but unexpectedly had to head back that afternoon.

Will catch up with you guys on the next go round!

Glad to hear you made it at all! Was a bit concerned something might have happened since we never heard from you.

Did y'all happen to see the wreckless parent who let their 9y/o pilot their jeep over top of poser rock? Took about 8in off the top of the rock... Sad to see people out there adding to the already fueled fire of reasons to get the place shut down..

Some pics and videos:

Ken_in_NC impressed all day in the LR3 - full air suspension, up 3 in at the touch of a button, I was jealous!!




Alex_M's Frankie junior is a bit of a beast, not sure he spun a tire all day even with the ABS being down a wheel sensor






There were a few challenging hills, I also had a bad wheel sensor for the day so TC was not functioning. On this hill I spun a bit and slid off in to the trees because Ken_in_NC slicked the hill up with water before I got to it. I almost made it over the top, but needed a final yank once I slid in to the trees. Ken was excited to get his tow strap out and use it instead of pulling the winch cable.






With a fulling functioning TCS (no 3 amigos) these are a walk in the park on AT tires.

Ken, Ken, Ken; why did you feel the need to pee on the trail and mess it up for Extinct?

You got some awesome shots here, Tim! It was great wheeling with the both of you.
