Well where do we start? We went up trail 23, which is where we were last year and shoup's kids were being eaten by the alligator picture, and kept going until the trail just dead stopped. It was very strange. There was a harder section that went up to the top of the mountain that most people weren't comfortable with attacking. So we had to back down a little ways to get turned around. We ended up hitting an atv trail to make it out. It was tight but doable. We ended up finishing on trail 15 on Saturday by taking the tough section up and out. it was a Great trail that is fun to climb.
I heard the group did 15 today and took a tough section of another trail for a good while after. I will let the others talk about it because I caught up with them as they were finishing it.
Someone from the other group needs to tell the story of darkness, lost in the woods, chainsaws, and broken parts. I wouldn't do it justice.

Major high fives to the "Sundowners". We tested our machines, minds, and bodies! Was a rough evening that everyone surely looks back on as awesome. Dirtman, getoverit, flexit, jc, sureshot, and myself--everyone wheeled new and harder trails. Was a little tense by 11:00 but what and awesome run. Glad I was there. Looking forward to pics and a narrative of bad ass trail 12! Thanks everyone for dealing with the stress and the mess. Til next time, AMF!
did you ever get one of those cams?

That was a fun trip, despite all the breakages...
Here's my list:
- front driver axle shaft destroyed
- front passenger axle shaft u-joint caps (2) gone
- drag link bushings torn up
- front driver lower ball joint almost fallen out
- all soft top rails destroyed
And it just happened to rain the hardest it has all summer on my ride home. Cody, I told you i'd need your soft top hardware hahaha but I latched it down as best I could and it actually didn't even leak!
I'm just glad to have made it home! Now, time for repairs...
