Friday afternoon, everybody played in the obstacle area and set up camp.
On Saturday Morning, a bigger group arrived. Courtney Holland from the Ventura County Off-Road show wanted to take some drone footage of our group. when we hit 30 rigs, we decided to take a group Picture, but trying to motivate 30+ rigs to do something is easier said than done. So our annual group photo only had about half the rigs in it

After the group photo attempt, we decided to attempt a run to Henry's Buttcrack. Again, couldn't get most of the group motivated, so we told everyone where we were going and left with about 20 rigs. Henry's Buttcrack is bad this year; Only Desertdog's and Aaron's rock buggies could make it all the way. My RZR made it all the way, but it doesn't count because I had to winch once

We continued to play in the 4x4 obstacle area and have the usual fun around camp.

After the runs, we conducted an awesome raffle, thanks to 4-Wheel Parts, Justin and Franny at 5150 Life, and Beckapoo. The Pot luck dinner was the best ever. So much chicken, tri-tip, steaks, sausage, and everything else. Everybody really outdid themselves this year with the food. We had fun on full stomachs into the night.

On Sunday morning, we tried to get everyone motivated to run Big Bretts Trail. This is a new trail that is close to camp and actually consists of a little bit of rock crawling. About 8 rigs wanted to go, but we ended up with only 4 on this run because we couldn't get the others motivated to get their butts in their Jeeps and get going
. IMHO, this is the best trail in the area. Fun for more built rigs, yet still passable by stock Jeeps and SxSs. I had a blast running it in my little RZR.[attachment=3]Snapshot 1 (3-22-2016 8-33 AM).png[/attachment]

DAMAGE: I broken radiator fan, 1 broken axle, 2 broken shock mounts, 4 rigs with a little body damage, and 1 cut sidewall. Not bad at all considering the 30+ vehicles we had. Everyone did a very good job of driving safely and performing recoveries in a quick and efficient manner.
