"The Truck from heaven?"

I don't see pics of Steve's truck, so I guess that that means that it didn't make it? Think I see Steve in one of those pictures.

Steve did not have a trail-able truck with him. He is in about 9 of my picture though.

Yea, I didn't get done in time...and to tell you the truth, I would have had a time on slickrock with a open d44 front and iirc govbomb 14bff with 38's... Oh and no winch...


We had a blast!! Got off the trail about 10:30 or so, back to camp around 11:00.

wish i could have made it looks like it was a blast. everyone make it out unbroken????

Most everybody is on their way home or already there. John broke a shock mount not far into the ride, then broke a hub, then on the way down the mountain the trans/t-case crossmember broke in two. The Big s-10 broke a hub on friday. A few rigs got some trail scars. All in all it was a great weekend. There will be alot of pics posted and some nice video of slick rock:D

Sounds like a fun time was had by all. I need to make a run up next time.

Some pics...

I hope somebody got some vids of Dontoe beating on his blazer, that man is crazy...and he tried to run me over:rolleyes:

I have to download, resize clear out some room in the gallery and will have some in about a hour or so.

Should have vids up tomorrow. Can't login into my webserver tonight :mad: been trying for awhile. Do have vid of DONTOE's run. :D Got all vids but group pic.

Glad you made it back Paul. Pm me your addy so I can send you your rebuild kit:D

I just was watching the DPG dvd, good stuff, but you like to tape dirt:haha: :D

I can't wait to see Donalds full throttle runs:bow:

Here are some, I dont have alot of action shots though

Damn I'm jealous. I got cleared by the doctor this past wednesday to go back to work. Maybe I can finally afford to do some work on the Orange Crush now. Looks like you all had a blast. Wish I could have been there.--Eric

Here is a few that I had.

Sucks on the crossmember John...looks like a good time. Too bad I missed it.

This is last of what I got. The rest were blurry.:(

That top pic of slick rock just does not do justice...

Should be named "Slick Rock Pile". But it was FUN :D Wife and I had a Great Time.

We just rolled in to Charlotte about 2pm. We had a great time and enjoyed everyones company. We ran trail 7(Peckerwood) on Sunday, and all I can say is be glad we did Slickrock!!. I got a new scar down the bedrail on the K5 and the ledge was frickin huge! Easily 2.5 times that of the last one on Slickrock!! Had to pull cable. The S10 almost made it without winching. All we had was some video, but it aint much. Got to unpack be back later!!


Clay

Oh no, sorry to hear about the scar:doah:

John said he'd do lower 2 when I brought my blazer next time:D

OK got some clips ready.:D 6meg for Dontoe's run and the rest are about 10-12meg in size so dialup beware.
Used up both battery's on this trip. So DVD will end weird. Only run that was missed was the end of John's run and Dontoe's last run. Where we all pulled cable. Sorry Guys

That top pic of slick rock just does not do justice...

If you look, you can see me at the very top waving down to John. I am 6 ft so use that as a comaprison, but pictures do not do slickrock justice.

Donald's video is by far the best. That man is crazy!:eek1: :haha: :bow: :bow:

Yippee-ki-aaaa..........Mudder Fudders!


I'm on my Sister's.................sssssssssllllllllllllllll llllooooooooooooowwwwwwwww.......dial-up, so I'm freakin' out on how long it takes to do anything. Great, fun time, even though I felt like crap!!! Some of the best people I ver hung with, are CK5's members! Those guys and girls are all stars!!!


I'll post up some good pics next weekend when I get back home.......
Special thanks to Steve and James..........they make the whole trip worth the effort!
And that CB..........if he didn't show, no videos and the best, funniest comments and observations!!! Plus our trucks work great together!
Paul and John..........just like the brothers I always wanted.
Clay was a great trail leader, even better than the one he put on at Uwharrie last year. Follow him anywhere..........well, until I git skieered!!! :wink1:

Gotta love Clay's cheerleader:D

She was cool. I'm betting his future spotter:D
Also Steve less vid of dirt on Tellico DVD:haha: Other then when I got into bank. Didn't get it on tape but slid and got right side on way out just before the ledge into creek. Gave Carolyn and James close up view of trail. :D

We should start setting up next years trip now. Maybe late June 07'

I think she'll be driving, and Clay will be spotting:rotfl:

I want a dvd when you get one together:D

looks like a good time -- i need to fix my junk

She had a blast! She already wants me to start building a buggy now!!:doah: Maybe next year:D Cant wait to get a DVD!!! Thanks to CB and his wife for doing so much of the video taping!


Clay

Got a few more clips up. :D
