Well I shoulda known that my day was cursed the minute this happened
I should have turned around and just went straight home, but no, off to Norrish we went. Airing down at the trail head
As soon as we hit the trail, I heard some strange sounds coming from the front end. Could it be the curse? Looks like the caliper pins decided they didn't want to come wheeling.
I usually have a few olds ones kicking around, but do ya think I could find them??
Well our next stop of the day was..
After a quick parking lot repair....
... we were off to Norrish again to see how we'd do in the snow. Indir just put some Mickey Thompsons on his rig, and I swapped the MTRs from my exploder onto the ranger.
Just a minor slide to try and navigate over
Well wouldn't ya know it, the curse strikes again. I slid off a rock and luckily only broke the valve stem
After throwing on the spare, we were off again. Finally got up to the snow, but it was real ugly. The sun this weekend really changed the snow conditions, we had a hard time making any progress on it.
I wonder how the hell we get to the trails up there
We back tracked to a little side trail that we found to see where that would lead us
Ha ha... 'up yours' curse, we saw the jagged side wall eating edge of that culvert just in time to back up and skirt it
We got stopped again by the poo'ish snow
We decided to start our way out and stop for a quick lunch before heading elsewhere. While backing up, I didn't check my rearview mirror. Had I done that, I would have seen the curse lurking. I wound up catching a brake line and tearing it off.
After capping the connection, you can guess what our next destination was...
yup you guessed it!
After another quick parking lot repair, we decided we were going to hit the trails above Stave as it was close by
We played around on a few trails that were rather fun
We even found snow, but it's conditions were quite different from that of Norrish and we were able to make some headway
Until we reached a pretty much unpassable area
We turned around in search of other trails feeling fully confident that we left the curse back at Norrish
Passed a lake that had some really interesting melt patterns in it
Unfortunatly that curse is a crafty bugger, it spotted us and decided to creep up and take my cb attennae
I thought about going back to Lordco, but decided that duct tape would suffice
We ran into this group out having fun in a recently purchased unimog
We ran a trail with them that was quite fun
I saw the curse lurking again when I passed by this tree. I knew it was just sitting there waiting to take a rear fender flare, but with some added weight from friends on the rear of my truck I made it by without a scratch.
Indir made it by with no difficulty what soever
After that it was getting late, so we decided to call it a day and head out
Had a really great day despite everything, and it was only my second time to Satve. The trails there were fun, but I could have done without all the traffic.
