Who all is participating in this trail run? What are the deets?

 

So far just me and @joshuajayg. We will be meeting at MM147 on WB 1-70 at 10am tomorrow to run back dragon/black dragon wash . We are planning on eating lunch on the trail and anyone who wants to come should shoot me a DM so we can coordinate.

 

I'd love to be there but I just got the truck back today from getting a rear wheel bearing and want to put a few miles on it to be sure it's done right before testing it in the outback. You guys have a good time.

 

Dam if I knew a bit before I would be up for it. We should plan things like this a bit more often

 

I didn't camp out tonight unfortunately. Got caught up building an APRS iGate and it took all day. I'll meet you out there tomorrow though, @gmr102.

 

It do be like that sometimes.

 

Ouch. Do something epic though?

 

Well, coming back to civilization after about 7 days on the river with no cell reception is a doozy. Back to normal life I guess.

 

Ouch!

 

Yes the black dragon canyon run with @joshuajayg was a blast. His fantastic spotting got us through great. I didn't get pictures of the hardest obstacles but we got through with just the tire issue, a few trail rash marks on the wheels and a dented skid plate.

 

Shrapnel from Black Dragon?

 

Indeed.

 

Any pics?

 

Scored a couple bottles, so I opened one.

 

quite a few. some good. some not so good. but here's one.

80 miles of no cell reception, 80 miles of river, and 80 miles of canyons. Can't complain at all.

 

I like it.

 

Lots of rocks stick out at angles, reaching for sidewalls. One must have found him.

There were a couple large steps for the Lexus but I think he only had to bypass one (the skidplate denter.) It was nice to get out.

 

I'm selling/trading my Volant CAI* for 2nd gen Tacomas. The deal is $150 + buyers OEM setup.

If you know anyone interested let me know.

LOL gee thanks.

 

Anyone have any recommendations for trails or crawling up around the Bear Lake area? Willing to do a decent drive to get to somewhere.
