I have been waiting for you to start your own thread about the Sept thing. So far I have heard bits and pieces in just about every thread on here and it is soundin like a big time.

The third one is rattle rock. It's a couple hundred yards short of a mile of huge boulders going up the mountain. It is used for competition rock crawls. I have heard of people spending all day getting up it, and I have seen guys with torches working on thier rigs late in the day only half way up it. I also saw a custom rock crawler do it in about a half hour.
Just look at all the marks up the bark of the trees. I am sure one more day in Coal Creek would have found Tom and I on this.

yeah.. was planning on starting it once i got all the sponsors finalized. I posted the flyer for it and got an infraction.. but i emailed wayoflife prior for approval and talked to another moderator and its a mix up. I have to wait until he says its ok so i can start an official thread. until then I have just been emailing people the basic details. PM me your email address and I will send everything out to you so you can have an understand of what is going on.

Yes I agree it was an awesome trip. There were trails to challenge any skill level. I really think it was great that some jeepers brought their kids along. I hope they enjoyed it and it makes for a good memory. What a great way to get kids interested in the outdoors and maybe wrenching on stuff in the garage. I really enjoyed wheeling with everyone and would like to make another trip and next time I won't leave my jeep home. It's nice down there in the fall after the leaves are off. You can see up and down the mountain and some great views.

I have a few videos too, but I'll have to work on that later.
