    We had an awesome day in Buena Vista! Thanks a million guys!!! My friend Joe had a great time wheeling with us. As far as trip reports go, I can sum it up with two pictures...

    Thanks for the videos! Nice that you all got out!

    Hey Joe-rubber side- down rolls more smoothly that way! And what do you do...glue your hat on? Also, I thought that you were trying to keep the glass in that thing....

    looks like it was great day of riding, I don't think my ranger could handle that trail at least not til I do the SAS and the 35s.

    Since most of the obstacles, with the exception of two, are pretty much optional, you wouldn't have much of a problem. We ran this trail earlier and had quite a few only slightly modified rigs along...lifts, bigger tires, open/open and had a gas.

    It isn't a giveaway trail by any means, but just challenging enough and with nice scenery.

    last june funrover, patrolman, and I ran it. Patrolman has 33's and ifs and he did fine. over the years we've got a number of stock trucks through there. like brody said with the exception of a few most obstacles are optional.

    Thanks everyone for a great day. My father-in-law, who came along, thinks we're all crazy. :lol: When I get the pics he took (though it wasn't many as the battery died), I'll post them up.

    I added a couple more bumps and bruises to the ol' Disco - either I'm out of practice or I'm gettin' lazy!

    Thanks again!

    Even after dumping it over Joe still had a smile on his face. The Coyote Cantina was nice and relaxing after the run too. Again, thanks guys. This trip took my mind off of a lot of things.
