So where the pics from the run?
I just got home about an hour ago. Haven't had time to upload any pics from the camara yet.
So get this - We had 4 EBs and a 77 Blazer run Holy Cross on Thursday. It drizzled most of the day, so it was wet and muddy. The Blazer made it to French Creek, and all the EB's made it to Holy Cross City, but we didn't try Cleveland Rock. The only carnage we had was Brad (Past_Miner) slid backwards off a rock, hooked his tailpipe which bent into his brake line and broke it off. So he had to run with only front brakes, but still made it past the city and back. Not bad for 5 vehicles on Holy Cross. ;D
Then the next day we went down to Buena Vista and ran Chinaman Gulch. Same five rigs and the trail was dry. Should have been a piece of cake. Not so - total carnage was: tire rolled off the bead (on the entrance road); power steering pump shot; broken Dana 20 rear output shaft; broken U joint on the front axle; bent rim; Blazer hit a rock with the front tire and shoved the axle back on the leaf springs and then couldn't turn right. Four out of the five rigs had something break, and the 5th rig was running really rough by the time we got done. Go figure.
