Well. Certainly Mt Disappointment was no disappointment. Top day. Blessed by the weather and good company. Jason put together an excellent loop that had a bit of everything. The day started well with Eddie sneaking under Jasons new wrangler and attaching a zip-tie to his drive shaft. Jason reported through the radio all morning that he could hear a ticking sound but had no idea where it was coming from (Eddie must have been wetting his pants laughing all morning).
A long drive along a creek with lots of boulders to negotiate over. On top of that there were plenty of nice challenging hills. Despite a week of rain, everyone was able to get up every hill. Overall, the splitting of the group into two and going in opposite ways around the loop worked well. Jasons group was the first to make it to the top of a hill for lunch and only waiting around 5 minutes before group 2 turned up from the opposite direction. In addition, there was a good variety of vehicles including a Great Wall'' that was well tricked up and very capable (nice looking truck Dennis). Only down side of the day was the plan to tackle 'The Ladder'. Unfortunately there was a tree fallen across the track that was just a bit to big to move so that track was left for another day. Thanks for posting the trip Jason..... an awesome loop and to Kelvin for leading group 2. Thanks all for your company and Eddie for being the photographer for the day. Cant wait to see the photos
. See you all again soon. Cheers.
