On 7/18 we ran Metberry Gulch. The trail was more washed out than it had been this winter, but was still a lot of fun. We had 10 rigs go with us, and two atv's joined us too. Everyone had a good time, although one of the younger drivers had a little difficulty coming down the rock. It sure looks like a close call, but he was able to turn correctly and give it a little gas to avoid tipping over.
We had a nice lunch break down by the river, then headed back out. After the group shot!
On 7/24, four volunteers joined Stay the Trail and the Forest Service to put up some kiosks in high use areas. The Forest Service has plans to develop these areas into safer recreational areas for multipurpose use. Our involvement hopefully helped to foster a relationship with the FS and STT so that we can work on our trail, China Wall. We will have a second work day on 8/15/15.
Finally, on 7/26/15, we revisited Schubarth road. Many of our prospective members were on the trail with us early this year when there were new feet of snow; it was a memorable trip, to say the least. It was icy, and our President who was leading had to use his winch multiple times just to turn around. And then he did this:
This redemption run was awesome. The weather was pretty nice except for a brief rain shower. We had 18 rigs roll out with us. It was a nice mix of Jeeps, a couple of Toyotas, and two Broncos!
We took lunch just before the rain and then headed off to one of the dead ends that has a cool rock outcropping. One of the guys forgot to set his brake and his Jeep apparently came out of gear and decided to take itself for a roll. Good thing there was a tree to stop it!
Despite this, we enjoyed the views and the ability to hang out with friends.
On the way out, some got the chance to do a little flexin. And waving.
There was also an Explorer. :-( LOL. Yes it was a GREAT trip with Great people.
