All Wheelers Off Road Club -
Spring Snow Run and 2010 Top Member Challenge
Saturday April 17, 2010


On Saturday April 17th, 2010 we meet up at the Nasty Creek Corrals to air down.

The convoy on top of the ridge.
Image

We stopped to regroup after a snow covered hill climb.
Image

Image

On up the trail we found enough snow for our Top Member Challenge. The Top Member Challenge is a race up the mountain in the snow to an area picked by the director and judges. On this day the finish line was Jackass Road. Here they are lined up to race.

Left to right -
Jeepscum, Havo, BlindPilot, HavoJr and Colemancooler.
Image

And they're off and wheelin'.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

We followed a long beside the racers.
Image

Jeepscum's Co-pilot helped the 4 cylinder TJ along by oaring. LOL
Image

Rollerbear was the judge. Here he is watching Colemancooler tailing the pack.
Image

Image

Jeepscum goes to pass and now falls back into the last position.
Image

Image

Image

Image

After Jeepscum gets going he stopped a long the way to help HavoJr get unstuck. I moved on to make sure the front of the pack makes the turn toward Jackass Road.
Image

Image

Havo and BlindPilot battled it out the last stretch of the trail. At the very end BlindPilot took a wrong turn and Havo past him onto the finish.

BlindPilot passing on the Trophy.
Image

Time for lunch and BS about the race.
Image

Image

Image

Image

After lunch we headed on toward Ewe Neck. Rollerbear and I had some fun up front and then gave it over to BlindPilot.
Image

Image

Image

Ewe Neck was drifted over to bad to continue safely.
Image

We turned around.
Image

Heading back.
Image

Guido waved me by and I launch it into the ditch.
Image

Guido pulled me out and we were on our way down Jackass Road.
Image

Image

We took the low road and found it was off camber climbing back out. My rig being locked only in the rear wanted to crab walk this part so I backed down to let the Pro take over. Rollerbear made it look easy.
Image

Us waiting at the bottom.
Image

On up the climb we stopped to let Rollerbear's rig cool down.
Image

Image

Image

Once we hit the North Fork pavement we headed on up the Mid Fork Road. We turned off on McLain Canyon Road.
Image

Next we turn on Whites Ridge Loop. I stopped to let others break trail awhile so my rig could take a rest.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Turning up Whites Ridge Crest Trail.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Up on top I took the lead breaking trail again until I got stuck in this tree hole.
Image

Test Dummy was behind me and found his track bar pretzelled.
Image

Havo went around me.
Image

Rollerbear pulled my XJ out backwards. As soon as he started pulling me, the front passenger door came opened since it wasn't latched. My co-pilot had open it when I was hooking up the tow strap. I yelled over the CB but was not heard in time to stop the door from being drug into the tree and folded into the front fender. Test Dummy was able to get the door straight enough to shut. Here are some pics of the damage a little while later.
Image

It will buff out.
Image

Here is my Co-pilot that didn't shut the door all the way.
Image

Guido.
Image

Craigen.
Image

Test Dummy and Craigen.
Image

On up at the next hill climb things got fun. Here is Havo parked between two trees.
Image

Image

Image

Image

It was getting late so we headed back down. Here I fell into a big ditch and got stuck.
Image

Craigen pulled me out. TJ40 took the last two pics since I could not get out of my rig. Thank you guys for hooking me up.
Image

Thank you to everyone for pulling me out throughout the day.
This was a great run thanks to all that came.
