[b] -Bekah <br />.=. It's not the fall that hurts, it's that stop at the end .=.
I too had a great time! Sadly I didn't bring my Camera since I couldn't secure it in my 4runner with my half doors and I didn't feel like carrying it on my all weekend.
I met up with Bill (NakSuKow) Friday morning and we ran Gold Mountain and White Mountain without a hitch before heading over to Crab Flats to set up camp. Gold Mountain was good as usual, but this was my first time running White Mountain, which ended up to be a dissapointment in my eyes. Back at camp we just unloaded all of our gear and watched the file into camp as the afternoon went on. At around 6:30 I believe, Bill, Kevin (Crinale) and myself were feeling antsy, so we decided to do a quick Dishpan Springs run before nightfall. While leading the group down to Dishpan I realized that the order of our group was my white first gen 4runner, Kevin's white second gen 4runner and Bill's white third gen 4runner, which I thought was pretty cool. We fist ran it from east to west, down the waterfall, then proceeded to retrace our steps back to camp. Going up the waterfall we encountered our first problem. Bill snapped a CV. Luckily with a few tugs he was able to limp it back to camp without having to pull the CV out on the trail in the dark. A few minutes later, Kevin slammed his 4runner into a ditch, breaking the bead on one of his tires and throwing off his alignment. He also thought there was frame damage, but we never concluded that. We just installed his spare tire and limped back to camp.
Saturday, after Bill and Kevin fixed their rigs, we hit Dishpan springs with 9 vehicles (8 4runners and Chris's awesome Jeep Scrambler). Getting down was fun, but relatively uneventful. Chris and Marc had some issues getting into 4WD but were able to get it to work, Mikey tagged his door on the waterfall and Troy took the crazy line down the waterfall. We hung out at Deep Creek for a while before Sean, Chris and I went back to camp via roads and the other 6 guys ran Dishpan back up to camp. Sean had to tend to his dad, Chris's 4WD still wasn't engaging and I had to take my friends into town to buy some supplies. After talking to everyone when they got back it sounds like the only hitch on getting back up dishpan was that Kevin snapped a CV going up the waterfall. We then spent the rest of the day just hanging out around camp until half of us headed home Saturday night. Driving the 4runner home at night with the half doors sucked! It wasn't bad from 8PM-10PM, but after we got some food and got back on the road at 11PM it was freezing! I definitely need to make some windows for them!
It was nice meeting everyone and thanks for not killing my friend's annoying dog! Marc is right, we definitely need to plan another run again soon!
so how do you get to the creek? sounds like I might want to try my fishing rod there

Damn! No one said there was gonna be swimming. Now I regret going. That looks like a lot of fun.
How did the leg get scraped?

man i so wish my leg was better and could have made it.
cant wait to see the rest of the pics and get back on the trail with you guys.
just because you've always done it that way doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid.<br /><br />1999 4x4 SR5 4runner<br />http://www.ultimateyota.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=1 081.0
seth, dad was coming down a hill and got up too much speed and just kinda glanced his leg off of a rock. no real bruise from impact, but a nasty scrape. a trip to the doc netted him a tetanus shot and some praise for doing what we did back at camp: cleaning it very well and bandaging it up. he's a bit sore but otherwise fine.
yeah you guys missed a fun trip!
