I jumped in with this group, and they showed me the way until Rubicon Springs, where everything went well (for me at least)
Here are some shots coming down Big Sluice
As for others in the group... Here is there story...
These were the last pics we took from the trail. We "V'ed" my front rim coming through the mud hole at the springs where we took a sledge and beat it back "round" to hold the bead and limped the rest of the way out on a blown axle. Once i made it to pavement, i could only go 38 MPH, so it took another 1.5 hours to make it to our "hotel".
Some guys from San Diego offered to haul Bee back and let me follow them in their rig...
Here is Bee on the trailer. Beaten, Bruised, Broken, and ready to just kill over.
Here is the rig i was blessed to drive back home in.... Yes, it is the cover rig for JP Magaizine's November issue....
All in all, it was a shitty rock crawling experience. the people i was blessed to meet that helped will forever be remembered, and i know i have now made lifelong friends with a couple of them, but I have never broken so much in so little time (The trail is only 11.5 miles....)
Well, there ya'll go. Bee's last trip was a hellofa one....
