hit the trail with my friend Joe Dana of Banner Offroad and a few of his clients. big bear was perfect today with very little dust. we didn't hit many ruff trails due to a stock truck with us and a unexperienced driver. that didnt stop me from snapping a CV on gold mtn of all places. im speechless lol. it was either on its way out or a great reminder of how fragile they are at droop and turn.

anyhow the highlight of the day was a visit to the gatekeeper at john bull. a few of us just went up and down it for fun. it was in rough shape. the rains washed more dirt away then they deposited so the rocks are very exposed right now. that and it must have seen alot of traffic in the rain last weekend since the open/open wheel spin holes were deep. heres a couple of Joe playing on the gatekeeper
