awsome day for a run :Thumb:
a few mishaps but everyone was able to drive home under their own power (even the rover)
can't wait to do it again :freakout:

some of the ruts are deeper and the right side of piston hill is washed out pretty good with ruts going up and down the hill with a big soft spot where desert dog (he couldn't resist the challenge) tried to straddle the rut but it just caved in. the rut was more than 40" deep in some spots and it was really soft where he would just dig in. the left side had alot of ruts too but if you fell into one of those you might be rolling down the side of the mountain. looks like the saturday crew made some new lines towards the middle of piston hill.

my daughter said she had a great time playing with the other kids and spending the day with me.


i didn't take any pics :oops: :dontknow: but you guys can post your pics for all to see :yup:

Had a great time, and lots of folks were willing to play on the bonus stuff. Some winching, body damage, and a roll-over but all 13 rigs made it home early :Thumb: .

Enjoy to video:

Did you see how close you came to going over?

The good thing about being the guy with the camera, is that when I get stuck or almost flip, im too busy driving to film = no evidence, never happened :bleh:

just a little air, this run had alot of tires in the air. those ruts keep getting bigger it's gonna be alot more challenging. :Thumb: we get another winter like this one and piston hill is going to run out of easy sides :lol:
i wonder what borderline looked like :thinking: it already had a few good ruts to begin with.
