Hi Windturbin1, I have a seat available if you're interested. I'm leaving my house at about 5:30 am to make breakfast at Coleman's. Jesjss, I'm not sure what trails we're running yet. It depends on the rigs we have show up. On another note: We're going to have a Hot Dog BBQ for lunch. So, if this is something you want to partake in, please bring hot dogs and buns to cover your group. Fivendime is going to bring his grill and I'll bring some simple condiments. On another another note: Breakfast 7:00 am at Coleman's 9 which is next to the Shell station to the East on hwy 6. Meet at Roger's Camp at 8:30ish and depart at 9:00 am. I look forward to a Great day of not working and a lot of wheelin' Enjoy! Wyldman

Well, I just got back home. I had an awesome time. When I showed up at Coleman's there was no power past Banks, so we tooled back to the Thriftway for breakfast. ;D We had about 6 Jeeps show up. All were pretty capable, at least I was challenged on a few trails. I was a casualty right off the get go, my tail pipe is now totally custom. I'll be selling it for $500. Any takers? Hit the Red Robin's on the way out, and had a fun dinner. I'm sure the rest of the guys will chime in, and post pics and video.

Thanks guys for a Great day of rocks and sloppy mud. I had a Fantastic time.
We first headed up FB 5 and migrated over to Saddle Up ( by the way Jim, you made it up Saddle Up. It was Can Opener you didn't want any part of). Then it was over to Rocky Uphill, which four of the six rigs ran down. The top was pretty tricky. We then finished the day at Can Opener where Scramble Bill and I had to winch up. I went first so Bill ended up with the bell. We watch others attempt it with no success.
That was it for the day other than a great burger at Red Robin.
The Days Carnage: Bill broke a hub on his rig and I bent my tie rod and Chris bent his tail pipe pretty good. All in a days fun. Sorry I didn't get pics but I know others did.
Enjoy!
Wyldman

How was the conditions on Canopener? Was the filter at the bottom passable or did you need to pull cable? I'm heading up next weekend, and hopefully it dries out a little bit up there. I'm kind of getting the itch to try it again. Also, x2 on what Joey said.

Great ;D day in the woods guys. I have a new idea for an annual presentation, trail recognition award. "The Broken Hub" award. I will explain at the next meeting. The filter is passable with carefully chosen line. Wyld man winched over at the very end. My line was just different but still tough. Thanks Tonka, for spotting me. The up hill part is really chowdered up. The holes are really deep, now that a rig with 39.5 swamper's tried and failed to get up it. That same rig had a some what difficult time getting down it, after he drove around to meet us. It should prove to be a challenge. Let me know how you do. Bill P.S. My camera is broken
