GOOTH A&B/Webber Run - 2/23/14
This run started out like many of the other runs with me being a late arrival, but I think I have a good excuse we (over) celebrated Mandi's birthday last night, and we just don't recover as fast anymore.
We met at the BC Conoco at 10ish, Good Turnout TJ Dave, Scumby, Yrjan, myself, Bryan and Luis. We then headed out to conquer Webber 1. Now this is where things became interesting, Luis had his newer Nissan Frontier, and apparently was called out by someone to prove his rig was trail ready (No offense, but it wasn't).
Webber 1 always entertains, but today we made it about a 1/3 of the way up and were shutdown and turned around by a landslide of tumbleweeds. Bryan was leading and tried to make a path, but when the tumbleweeds were starting to roll over his hood, we called him back. Two issue was we can't see what's under them and we didn't want to start a fire and lose a rig. So we decided to turn around and head back to A&B. Sneaking in the back way we took the canyon before the one we ran up our last visit with all the JKs.
Luis decided he'd taken as much of a beating as he needed and pulled out and headed home. Hope we didn't scare him away, maybe next time he'll consider a Jeep for wheelin, as opposed to a long lil' pick-up...
About 3/4 of the way up the D-35 in Bryan's TJ checked out with a bang, so Al got up a side hill and we prepared to do a mega long winch run like 150 feet or so. After we got all the cable out and ready we found Bryan was able to drive it up and out. So we stopped and ran the cable back in before continuing up the hill and back to BC.
Carnage, well I don't know about everybody else but Julia scarred up a rear fender flare, 3 wheels and both outriggers... But all her skin is intact.... Enjoy the pics.... Videos will follow...
Webber Ends and we head over to an A&B canyon... Much less room for errors at A&B...
