Well it was a blast. Only 5 rigs from B2B but we actually covered more
Trails than I normally do in the time allowed. We did stop and do an apparent no no
And had lunch on the trail. But when Wezzie broke a u joint on his drive shaft we moved him to the by pass and actually found the cap with most bearing in it and was able to fix it right there. Then Oscar decided he wanted to be a big pain in ass and he broke an axle. When tring to wench him off the trail to repair he broke the head on a fire but we managed to get it aired up right there( on board air is awesome). So back to getting him off the trail so he wouldn't block it ( since anbig no no ) got hung up again and a tree destroyed his right side pretty good. Let's just say can't open the right side back door from the out side anymore. We then hooked his winch to a rock and started pulling him off trail. Well Oscar just was not going quietly. Once almost on firm ground ( but all the way off the trail ) he decided to break his right ball joints. We had to use winch to a tree to hold him up while used high lift to get tire off and repair. Had to leav him there and goto Autozone and get new ball joints and an loaner press.
While I was gone Chris and the Goulie broke an axle on the top of Gregs Rock same trail that Oscar broke at the entrance. Anyway got back and Chris and Greg got the ball joints in and axle as I was just in the way so it seemed. Took Oscar back to parking lot and grounded him to his trailer even though we had about hour more before they locked the gates. While putting him on trailer noticed almost where'd off a valve stem .
Once again it was fun but with the new bs times doubt I will be going back any time soon. Was told by some that Friday they didn't open the gates til 11. Plus they can't seem to figure out what they want to charge . Seems like everyone paid a different amount. Also the bathrooms were super nasty. Just seems like they want to close the park and turn it into a hunting club or something. Thanks again Chris and Greg for taking time away from riding to fix Oscar and Wezzie for the ride to the parking lot.
Exact reason for a truck and trailer. Go to park, wheel, break shit, load up and go home!! Sounds like you had a good time man. Hopefully I'll be back on the trails soon I sure do miss crawling!!
