Not too bad, I chose to stick to Redwood road all the way home, only felt a little squirly once or twice when a bump would try to set it off, but it was faint at 45 mph. When I installed the new track bar I was'nt pleased with its relationship with the drag ling but figured I'd see what happened, Drove around fine on it for two weeks with no problem, not sure why it waited so long to show up. Back to the drawing board, Lol. Fun day today, I was extremely pleased with the extra droop from the shackle relocation and other than my first death wobble experience she performed well today!

Now ya know how I feel on almost every run. At least you are the same species

Awesome day! Haven't ran the 5 mile area since the NAXJA run when it snowed like crazy. Been a whole year too. A few things that I noticed this trip.

  • Cracked fuel lines suck. But I was saved by a man in a Cherokee.
  • I forgot how dusty the area is. Though I like it a little better then the slick rock. At least I can turn easier in the dirt, but it still ain't Sand Hallow.
  • First dibs at Eagle's Nest from now on. If I can make it that easy every time, I'll be happy.
  • Wayne's World can still kiss my ***
  • Summer night runs sound fun for a weekend camping trip. Who's in?
  • I blame Jeff for not making it up Eagle's Nest the second time. I really blame all the dirt and rocks on it.
I got no pics this trip, so it's all up to Derek.

All 3 times I've done it, I was riding alone. Every time I had someone riding along, I can't make it or break. Guess no one but me will ever know what it is like.

You were playing with the still camera, those pics turned out fine, it was my video shots that kinda sucked, lets just say if anyone wants a video of the ground, my feet, stuff upside down, I'm your camera man, Zach got some good stuff though.
