    Default Pickle Gulch



    Fun run today! Jim cut a BIG downed tree with his electric chainsaw, the weather was perfect, and we ran into Victor and his beautiful new JLUR. Great day.

    Great day on the trail today. Pickle Gulch was generally pretty easy, but had a few fun climbs and a little snow to keep things interesting. Couldn't ask for better weather for some doors-off wheeling in May.

    Had a great time with y’all yesterday! Sawyer and so ended up taking a road that ran us back around Dakota hill and it joined up at the same spot we all hung out and lined up the Jeeps. Then we ran back down the steep loose hill and did Pickle Gulch backwards to come out where we started! Made for a full day of fun, finished airing up around 5:30 and grabbed dinner in Nederland.... got just a few pics and videos

    Had had a great time and was awesome meeting everyone. Hopefully next time I’ll catch you guys at the beginning of the trail, not the end!
