Carnage Canyon Report 2/18

[Digger]

Well I made it home, tired and sore, but I had a great time! Thanks to Rich for organizing this trip.

Here is the damage list to the best of my memory. Help me fill in the blanks if I left anything out.

Digger: not much, rock rash on long arms and wheels.

Starkman: Shift motor or 4x4 computer? Rock rash.

Tilt168: Rock rash, broken step.

TheSoundMaster: Flatten exhaust, big dent, missing paint, dented rocker panel, etc, etc, :D (Good job today, nothing broken)

Solid Axle: Ruptured ARB line, rock rash.

Oh and we got to rescue a Jeep!

This was awesome. I didn't think I had the clearance to make this, and then Rich followed me through. Special thanks to Dan for some excellent spotting!:thumbsup:

The guy was kind of well he wanted to show the world how big he was and ended up getting into trouble, he was freakishly off camber and i thought he was gunna roll it, missed the recovery since that was the time i was putting my dent into my passenger side!!!

[Walking Eagle]

Looks like a blast. Good pictures.

[thesoundmaster]

Special thanks to Dan for some excellent spotting!:thumbsup:


yes, special thanks to dan for the excellent spotting the entire trail. i literally would have not made it had it not been for dan's spotting through the area i hit the first tree (front left), and special thanks to jesse for the patience in guiding me through the smaller squeeze (the big dent) that we had trouble getting the Cherokee's through. Rich, great job with the organization on the run, and LT, bro, you did awesome in showing me where to go and what not to do (the place you had to winch yourself out of) as well as getting me around the boulder at a very very hair-raising angle.

[mattadams]

Definately looks like everyone had a good time :). Feel free to write up a trail report about it (if anyone wants to) and I'll throw it in the trails section :). http://www.rmftc.com/trailsruns.html

[Gunner]

Wish I coulda been there. Did you all make it to the top and back?

[Tilt168]

yep! soundmaster had some trouble but he made it all the way up with minor help and just some body damage, nothing major....(sorta as you see above)....the rangers and 150 did a great job, i had to winch myself out of one spot after sliding off the line

I'll do it, but i'll have a different opinion from everyone else, since i made it stock

[solid axle]

sweet trail, good and challenging, got the better of my track bar setup, broke on the way home had to call a tow, and changed my pants when i got home, doing 60 when it broke loose, thought i saw a light flash before me

[dannan_w]

Oh crap. Glad you made it home safely.

[Burg460]

Damn, looks like a good time. I remember reading the post but forgot the date. That trail is rather close to me too. I wish I would have remembered the date, I would have shown up. Oh well, maybe next time.

I remember that...... you were soooo butt hurt then when you rounded the bend your started laughing so hard when i pointed out he rolled......

[thesoundmaster]

i missed it because i was putting the dent into the side of the Bronco, or was i still trying to get up that spot where i rubbed my fender? I can't remember
