Infectious Off-Road.com

Well its really finally open!!!

There was about 30 loosely affiliated rigs that showed up for this run. Some Calmini rigs, some infectious Jeeps, Some JKO Jeeps, Some JK Adventure Jeeps, Some CI4x4 club, some Frazier Park jeeps, and some folks that just heard about it and wanted to go. There really wasn't much organization to the affair, folks just broke off into groups of a few jeeps and ran it at their own pace, which worked out really well.

As before, the trail was pretty easy. A stock Jeep that carefully picked their lines can make it with little trouble. Being that the trail has been closed for over a year, coupled with one of the wettest winter/springs in a long time, I expected the trail to be very rutted and overgrown. This was not the case; as a matter of fact, the trail looked very well traveled. With all of the rigs on the trail, this was definitely one of the dustiest runs I had been on in a while.

In order to satisfy the appetites of those that wanted play on something more challenging, most of the group headed over to the Hungry Valley 4x4 practice area to run the sluice box and rock climb.

The whole infectious crew went through the sluice box, while the JK Adventure crew was doing the rock climb. Brad ran up the rock climb, and after finally settling on a spotter and finding the right line, I also ran up it successfully. A guy in a Rubi that joined our group (sorry, forgot his name) also had a good run up it.

We had a great time and met a lot of new people.

Damage observed; Broken hydro steer line, overheating trans, bent Fox Shock

Melted Fuel tank!!! Was it because of your new exhaust?

Your very lucky that nothing bad happened.

I was from JKA and wanted to say nice meeting you all! Good day at Miller, perfect weather and amount of fun! Hope to see you all again.

Melted fuel tank... when did that happen and how did we get you off the trail without gas??

Dirt Princess... welcome to Infectious. I am guessing you're the girl with the pink spyder?

I have a lot of video that I need to go through and Christian took a bunch of stills that I am trying to get from him. I'll upload some video soon, but in the mean time, here are a couple of stills I pulled out of the video. I will spare you all from Christian's surprise. Not sure why, but he decided to show off his nuts while Chris was climbing that last rock climb in Hungry Valley. It is rather disgusting and I guess it proves out my point about boys in the Navy.

Aside from Christian's balls... the only downer to this trip is that we ran with members of Kim Jong-il's Army. The upside is that we may have educated these few poor souls to the truth. Time will tell.

And... to the pictures.

A famous quote comes to mind.

"Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?"
