TSF Wheeling Run 1-31-09

[nightfoam]

Well Scott (Jeepers) called me up last week and told me he wanted to go wheeling and being the shut in that I am I had nothing to do so I got ahold of a buddy of mine from NAXJA and in just his rig and Scotts we made a run up to TSF on Saturday. It was a nice day with just a light dusting of new snow here and there along with some nice hoars frost. It snowed very lightly on us as we were stopped at the top of one trail but other than that it was sunny all day though rather cool. We ran Powerline, Cedar Tree, Firebreak 5, the Hogsback hillclimb and all of Archers Firebreak.

Scott was great and let me drive his Jeep quite a bit during the day so I didn't get a ton of pictures but I was able to get a few.


Scott and "Doyle" stopped along Cedar Tree Trail



Scott flexing his 35's on a root before going under the famous tree.

"Doyle" squeaking under the tree. His lights just barely caught but fortunatly they folded back enough to fit.



This red YJ caught up with us at the tree so they decided to tag along with us for the rest of the day.



The group staged before going past the Rock of Doom

"Doyle" just past the rock

"Doyle"



The YJ. It has a two-week-old 350 in it

The YJ on Hogsback. Scott eventually tried to pull him up with a strap and ended up having to use his winch to pull the TJ up over the edge. I'm gonna have to try that lower angle again, I think it has potential.

Thanks for posting those up, I had a great time and look forward to wheeling with you and Scott again.

Ryan, Great pictures and videos. I tried to upload my file but they won't allow me to upload .KML files. Did you want me to email it to you. It did not come out that good because the battery died halfway but you can totally see what it was supposed to be. Let me know. I had a great time!

I have been 'parked' on that rock. I think it was the first run after they opened the new route at the top.

Surprised that there wasn't more snow.

Really neat pictures, Ryan. I enjoyed them immensely. You should be our official action photographer!!!
