tony!! dang it!

im pretty sure scott is sopposed to have the last sunday of every month off as well

[troyboy162]

so where to Scuber? fissure mtn sounds pretty awesome actualy. its a long trail with some 4 sections. im jelouse of your aftershock experience and couger buttes has enough to keep us excited all day.

anyone else wanna weight in with a selection?

[Scuba]

I heard fissure mountain was pretty short. Now that I'm geared and fully locked, I'd like to give aftershock another go. Though if we do aftershock we'd have to keep in mind were most likely going to have to turn around at the end...

[troyboy162]

that would be fine with me. fissure is long as heck though. ill post a pic
. fissure is in yellow and aftershock is the orange one on the right

[Scuba]

Maybe I heard it was an easier one? Idk, we can plan to do both?
Ohhh, Ill know by friday if I can make this for sure, I have this day requested off but we just lost a couple girls at work so idk if I'll get Sunday off..

I'm keeping my fingers crossed though.

[troyboy162]

word it will be fun no matter where we go. ive heard easyier and ive heard sections of damn hard. ill keep my fingers crossed for you to get this day off.

Scott you gonna make our roll call? :)

[troyboy162]

yea tin benders is calling fissure easier.... let hit aftershock

[Scooter25]

I think I may be a go on this one.

[BruceTS]

Fissure mountain trail is quite easy, Aftershock is not too difficult, but can be a long day if you can't make the climb out at the last waterfall AKA Depreciation knob. I've done that trail a few times now and still enjoy it. Claw Hammer is another good choice to run and at the top you can take the right fork to the back side of Wrecking ball. Fun watching the carnage when people flip their vehicles at the end of that trail.

[Scuba]

Last october when we ran aftershock, Jon Brundant in his 40 on 42's made depreciation like nothing. Directly behind him was an FJ80 on 35's that was more or less out of forward progress, and could not be winched up. After that we turned around. Since we had so many vehicles on that trail (15ish) I think we had about 10 hours on the trail going up and down. With 3 I don't think we'll have anywhere near that..

[troyboy162]

I think I may be a go on this one.


nice! this is gonn be epic!

[troyboy162]

bumpas suckas

[Scuba]

IFS @ da Hammers = WEEEEEEE :)

[Scooter25]

C'mon people. There has to be more interest than just the three of us.

[troyboy162]

i figured interest would be low....not many wanna push there trucks very hard, but three will make it easier to make it anyhow. scott have you ever changed a cv? ill have the tools/parts in case any of us run into trouble, but ive never actualy changed one.

[troyboy162]

I can change a CV..

[troyboy162]

nice. ill be home super late on saturday. like around midnight i would think. its gonna suck but i gonna make this run even if i dont get much sleep lol

[Scooter25]

Yeah. It's been a while, but CVs aren't to difficult.

[YotaFun]

Ugh, if I was over there I would be all for it.
But driving 3000+ miles with a truck thats currently getting 10mpg I would have to take out a bank loan just to make it lol!!!

[Scooter25]

Troy what time are you leaving your place?

[troyboy162]

Scott ill head out at 8:30 i think even though im gonna be tired as heck lol. do you want to convoy? we should meet at valario gas in lucerne at 9:30.

[Scooter25]

Yeah I figured convoy since I'm driving right passed your place anyways.

[Scuba]

I'm down for a convoy too..
So where and when should we meet, somewhere near 15 off the exit to JV..?

[troyboy162]

i guess may as well all meet at my place at 830 then if its just us going. that should put us on aftershock at 10:00

[Scuba]

I'll be at you're place at 8:15 :D

[troyboy162]

last chance for some stragglers. ive got an open seat if someone just needs to get out

[Obi..]

*O/T: Steve, I saw these today and thought you might like to pick up a set to pass around, they're made by DayStar, and part of the profits go to access efforts, enjoy!

[Scuba]

I saw those a while back, I need to see dimensions on them before I buy them. The stock flaps I have now are already pretty short and could be classified as too short buy a pig that's having a bad day.. So we'll see..
