Feb 4, 2012 EWA Slab Meet and Greet
Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2012 8:49 am
Going to take a shot at writing a short run report with some pics. I don't know most of the names but here goes.
Met up at Benton City at 9am and headed out in the fog. It was 27degs but as we passed through Grandview the fog cleared and it started to warm up. We arrived at the slab and started to air down for the run.
After all had arrived and got ready we headed for flex canyon. This being my first outing with any group I was not sure what to expect but the group was great about letting me know what to expect and how the terrain would be. CEG and Commando14 were the first to make a run on flex canyon and the girls and I enjoyed watching the action. Unfortunately Commando14 had a bit of bad luck and was the first and only casualty (twisted axle housing I believe) of the day. Bad for us too cause we were looking forward to watching his Jeep on the runs.
To sum up the day, it was an awesome time with a great bunch of people. The girls met some new friends and the day was a blast, even for the family in a stock ZJ with street tires...us. It it impressive to see what these rigs can do. Looking forward to the next run
