Brad, your post on TC was pretty good. Bring it over here...

Copy and paste as requested....
"FYBR was a fun run this year. It was different from the past ones I've been on because there was only a little snow high up. We worked our way up really high to a ridge top, found snow, and then worked our way back down. I'll get the trails we hit later. I wheeled with my hard top on, which was a mistake. I amazingly didn't hit it the whole day and only opted out of 2 or 3 very tight lines because of it. I did great until the end of the day when we were dropping down Kanner Flats to get back to the fire roads. It had one nasty snot mud covered decent, where the wrong line would send you down hill rolling. I almost got sucked into it following the tracks of the guy in front of me (he was quite aways ahead of me and I didn't see him do it). So I got some help and switched lines and made it down a fairly nasty down hill section. Crossing the bridge and dropping into a huge hole was a little unnerving too due to an open cold air intake and deep water. I drove home saturday night. Unfortunately I was limping home because I discovered that my t-case was slowly puking its guts out the front output. So my damage came out to a tweaked mud flap mount (thank you Toyota), a even more clearanced gas tank (thank you bridge at the end of Kanner), and a broken t-case (I think I landed hard on a stump... my skid was bent up a little). Over all it was a fun trip, even with the damage and no snow."

Odd late November weather for FYBR / Christmas tree run...

Nice pics, wish I could of made it 
I passed most of you guys on my way west to return my daughter to the 
. Looks like it was fun from the amounts of mud on the rigs being towed. Lee, I did not notice your new fog light upgrade when you went by----- it was getting pretty dark by then.

You probably would have noticed if I had the remaining one turned on.
