Trail Run - Turkey Creek 5/17

Well dang, sorry to hear that. Next time!

 

Hitting the road for camp. Hopefully there around 7:30 depending on traffic

 

I’ll be right behind you ~8

 

Cool, I won't have cell service but will have radio on ch 16

 

On The way!

James made an Old Fashion for you last night.
I drank it.

Breakfast will be ready soon.

 

How do you like that everest 2x? That's the one I'm looking at. My biggest question is how's the low heat simmer? Work well enough not to burn the crap out of your food?

 

Not my stove, but the owner does like it alot. Burners can turn way down.

 

Looking for a recommended company in Phoenix to do a repair/replacement for a broken spider spindle…. Elvis was a blast, but truck as seen better days!

 

Great trail, and a great camp spot!

I think the trail ratings need improvement.. A 2nd/3rd gen rating of 8 is just a 1st gen 6

Made it through unscathed. Only took one bigger hit to the rear bumper, but didn’t even dent it. These stock 1st gen rear bumpers are so solid.

On with the photo dump

 

Looks like a fun trail! Glad the 1st gens showed out! I’m super jealous, spent the day truckless, doing taxes and homework… Hopefully the new set up is worth missing out today

 

Great ride! It was great to meet everyone and I fun challenging myself on some tough obstacles!

 

Had a great trip on Elvis! Friday night camping was not perfect with some rain and wind, but we were rewarded Saturday with sunshine for the trail.

Trail had some fun obstacles none of which were really hard, just a little scraping here and there.

Thank you to @time623, @ehart, and @radio1521 for coming out to join the shenanigans.

Here are some of the better pics I had




















I do have a few videos I'll work on getting posted.

The commentary on @ehart s video

 

Haha not quite as smooth as I hoped!

 

I started with one of these in my truck and I replaced it after a year or so. Its low level simmer control was severely lacking in my experience. The built in lighter also gave out wayyy too early.

I went with a Eureka Ignite stove as a replacement, and it has been rock solid for a while now. They say that it has advanced simmer control, and that rings true during my use of the stove. One full rotation of the knob at the low end is equivalent to maybe 20 degrees of rotation of the 2X. It is very easy to put to burner on 'just barely on' and this has made our lives a lot easier.

 

I have 2 Eurika’s and they kick ass. Highly recommended.

 

So far we are thinking broken axle. I had to learn the hard way on this trip. Still was a blast!

 

Guess I don’t snap that many photos
