Friday we arrived shortly after dinner and had a small group that headed up a trail called welder. It is a good little challenging trail and there is a trench up at the top that we went up. Only 4 rigs tried it and all made it up but me. (I guess it wasnt my time to shine) But the monty ended up laying over on its side and was a good photo opp for me and thats about it. I will post up those pics when they are sent to me because I was trying to keep in my seat while we kept attempting to get up the trench. It was on its side in the trench with the slider and bottom of doors/wheels taking all the weight. So I think it was as far as I could go without flopping and body damage.

Friday night was also good we came back down from welder and had a good meal and then headed out around 930-10pm for a night run. We ended up meeting up with some of our group that had left cause they were itchin for trailtime and got lost. After Doug got his rig stuck in another massive trench at midnight and a little winching we ended up backtracking the same route and getting back to camp to sleep.

The next day we waited for everyone to arrive and headed out onto the trail around 1130 or so and went up a trail called ArmorAll. It is in a creekbed and was a great fun little trail. I made it through I would say 80% of it and then managed to get the front driver tire a little airborne while bumpin an obstacle and it came down and grabbed traction and **BANG** CV axle broke. So we winched the rest of the way out in 2wd. Was lots of fun and everything built on the monty held up just great. Armor did what it was supposed to...rear bumper did great and we tested its durablilty pretty good with a few rocks and new dents in it... Other than that I got out of the trail and got back to camp and had a good time with everyone at supper and then headed home after that. Here are the rest of the pics. I am hoping that others will post a more variety of pics from other peoples rigs and I will do so when I get them. But everyone seemed to have my monty in the lens cause of what it was accomplishing.
