CANCELED ---- 3/11: Cougar Buttes

[abendx]

[size=200][b][color=#FF0000]CANCELED!!!![/size][/color][/b]

[size=100][b][color=#FF0000]Sorry guys. Change of plans. We can do this (Cougar Buttes) any other time.[/size][/color][/b]


[color=#393939]My old lady's brother is in town from Ohio and he's seen us in action from posted videos. He's interested in seeing it with his own pucker meter. I plan on running a couple of trails at Cougar Buttes this coming Sunday (3/11) while he is here. Bullfrog and Hammer Down for sure... with the first being fairly easy (plenty of extra credit side trails that can make this one more interesting for those that like that kind of thing) and the second being fairly hard (found this description from another website of Hammer Down, "This is a tough trail with a bunch of 3 foot + rocks to climb while doing several 20' v-notch drops, with a lot of off camber descents to keep it interesting" ... last time I was there, we didn't run it, but the entrance to the trail looked to be about the same difficulty as the Gatekeeper on Calico's Doran Loop, without a bypass), then if we have time, maybe make a run to Crazy 8 and On the Rocks. If you are not setup for the harder trails, there is a lot to explore out there and/or wheeling is a spectator sport!


ATTENDEES:
1. abendx
2. desert dog
3.
4.
5.


Meet at the intersection of HWY247 and Camp Rock Road on Sunday March 11 @ 9am.


RECOMMENDATIONS:
Easier trail (bullfrog): 31s/locker or 35s/good driver
Harder trail (hammer down): 35++/lockers

too bad the whitesnake project isnt finished, i enjoy those trails alot.

Hammer Down is an experience, its short, but will make you pay if not prepared for it, you can see the end from the start, but its no joke for sure. Last time I was there we had 2 back out at entrance, one get winched, and lots of body damage, the boulders are/were in just the right position to make it difficult. The climb out is fun, side hill up a large flat slab with a rock face to your left. Takes about 20 minutes to run if its quick, about 3hrs if someone breaks.

Have fun at Cougar Buttes and post up some pics.

oh have you tried the optional wall climb near the middle of cakewalk? Ive only personally seen 2 rigs make it so far, definitely not a climb for the short wheelbases.

[abendx]

So I come back and make a trip and none of you nancies are down for wheeling vs a popularity contest at 4WP of all places?

So confused... What happened here?

You didn't respond to my texts, I was wondering if you still loved me or not. Now that you've laid that to bed, lets go wheel.... if it is only you and I, we can change the venue to that spot you've never been to. Let me know ASAP, as I am going to post this up on JKO later today if I can't get any club members away from 4WP.

Larry.... send me your e-mail, the one I have for you isn't working (@bak.rr.com) ?

[Beck*A*Poo]

the 4wp event is on the 10th anyone can go on the 11th if they want to

[Desert Dog]

Shredder canyon? Hell yes, id like to try that. Soccer be damned if we are going to run that (one of the only so-cal trails I haven't been on). Plus, its not that far away (East of Palmdale, right?). If you have a meeting spot and the secret password for the cops, I'm in.

I got your text B-Rad, I was just waiting to see if my Daughter's soccer club made the tournament this weekend, which they will not. Plus, I wanted to hurt your feelings

Ah.... the love never went away. How special. And as they say, the ones you love can hurt you the most. I want you to know Chris, I love you like a sister.

Sorry your girl didn't make the tourny, but that leaves it open for wheeling.... which is better anyhow.

You got the right area.... and I will give you the details of where to meet later.

In all actuality, this will work out better for me as well, 1.5+ hours closer. So... if you are down for sure, I will cancel this run.
