Yep, that was us. We got up there about 2pm or so and you saw us on our way out.
We ended up going up the "Upper Carnage" trail until it joined the main trail, then tried the first hard section on the main trail and couldn't manage it. I wussed out after only a minor try (still getting my courage up on the off camber stuff). Steve though tried really hard and nearly got up it. Definitely some close calls though. He nearly rolled it a couple times.
After that, we headed back down to Five Points and decided to go up Firemans and check out the area around the Challenge Route. There were some fun little middle level challenging parts up there. Some awesome views too.
On the way down, Steve felt and heard some weird things happening with his suspension. Ended up being that he broke the lower bolt holding his passenger side front shock on, and it had been rubbing a bit for a while. Not sure where the final damage happened. After a bit of wrenching it was off and we headed down. Didn't seem to affect the ride too bad and we took it easy the rest of the way down. Didn't seem to be too horrible for driving or anything. Steve and I both decided we have some work to do on our Rigs before we get out, but had some fun and scared ourselves a bit, so in all it was a good time.
I took some pics while I was up there and will post them up soon, along with a real Trail Report maybe. Hope everyone had a good weekend.
