Thanks Tad and Bob for letting me hang out... great times on the trail. :-bd :fsj: :-bd
Any time Martin.
Let's do Gardner in early October.
Like we talked about, 1 run per month.

What's Gardner?

I hope we get some time in this winter.

The pics/video are great. Martin, you did a great job in video 2 not burying yourself or breaking anything. We just need to slap a 4" lift, some sliders and a locker and you are good to go!

Kentucky Camp, Gardner Canyon, Sawmill Canyon and Aliso Springs are all in the same area about 50 munutes south of Tucson.
It's what we were trying to run last June when it was so hot.

That's the Google earth file for the fast way in.
There's easily a full day of trails in the surrounding area.

I say that that was my weekend pleasure. I must say that some areas on the trail is way steeper that it looks. I recall driving and seeing an entire tree shake :shock: I thought Bob ran into it but I guess he just wanted to let us know which way he was heading. I have been up the main road headingto this trail and had no idea how beautiful it was back there. Now I have to get out and experience more of that area.

You are all welcome to come on down and join us on the next one, it will be way cooler and I should have my fixes completed. :fsj:

Mike this is in the plan and if the funding works itself out then by the end of the year these items will be installed. I just have to put the word out on the sliders and order the front springs, lines, DPA and some shocks :D .

Martin,
Did you record the part where I ran straight into the wall?
If so, can you upload that part please?
I can edit them all together.

Sorry, I did not get that I was in the process of getting my phone when I heard the BANG! :shock: I sure wish I had gotten it though.

Tad makes it look easy! Yeah, it's funny how pictures/videos often don't show how steep stuff really is.

Cool photos and videos. Did the white waggy make it out of the creek on his own, or did he have to get pulled out?

No shame. That's a difficult spot. You have no lockers. I watched the video. You tried several lines and avoided burying your jeep. You didn't break anything. A little yank is nothing!

Better to get a little tug than breaking something. A rear locker would have made all the difference in the world. Clean waggy though, I like it.

Clean! You should see the engine compartment, you could eat off of it. 8-)
