I'm glad to hear all of the positive feedback from everybody. I'm glad everybody had a good time. I wish it was a little more organized but between having so many rigs and My CB still not working it was hard to cummunicate with everybody all at the same time. The only thing I broke while at Elbe was my trackbar rod end. I made it all the way through Sunrise, Mainline, "Easy" Wild, Alder Loop, Gotcha, Mainline Extention and Ranier Vista. We were playing around in the "Bowl" Rock Pit at the top of Ranier Vista and it went SNAP. Luckily I carry a spare since this is the fourth one I've broke. About 30 minutes of down time and we were back up and running. Thank you to Matt and Ryan for helping me out fixing my junk. After that Ryan, Eric and I ran the Swamp Trail. So, I can very honestly say I have ran every trail in Elbe Hills but the Busy Wild. As Tim was saying the place was packed. I am looking forward to running the Busy sometime in the future when not so many people are there. I had an awesome time and I am looking forward to running Elbe again in the future. Sorry to all the guys who broke their rigs but I know they are all tuff and they will lick their wounds, fix their Jeeps and be back out beating them again soon.

 

All of you guys and gals who took pictures and videos of this run please post them up on this thread. I didn't get any pics on my camera. Matt who was riding with me took a few. Hey Matt post up your pics!

 

I swear you jinxed me with this post. I think I was the only guy who lost a bead and it happened twice. Fortunately I knew what I was doing and got the bead re-set pretty quickly both times.

David (Popcancherokee) your cherokee is definitely worthy and I have several extra Tilted Wheelin stickers I can sell you. I just don't know how long they will last considering how much you like to break your windows.

Gotta agree with everyone else, it was a great day and I had a lot of fun but wow there were a ton of people there. I never got a solid count but there were like 20 cherokees there. I have never tried to run with a group that large before and learned a few things about how to do it better next time. We really should have split into 2 or 3 smaller groups each with a designated trail leader. We also should have made a rule to only stop for breakage, really good obstacles and trail junctions. The smaller groups could meet back up with eachother at the trail junctions. I did a poker run there with a lot of people, but it went a bit faster just because everyone didn't stop until they hit the end of the trails where they were giving out cards. Without the incetive of building a hand and making it back for a set raffle time it seemed like there was a lot more stopping than necessary.

 

I will post Pictures later tonight. I dont have to many good ones. But I will post a few anyways.

 

Here are a few pics Hopefully I sized them right for the site. I wish I had takin some better pics. Or atleast I should have kicked the girl out with the camera for a bit. Next time
