    Default Wheeler Lake 9-16-17



    Great trip. Some hard obstacles and great views. Love this trail. There was a large group in front of us that slowed us down considerably, but it's all good.

    Most of my picts are scenery. I'll post video of some action once I process them off my GoPro.

    Thanks Mike! Had a ton o' fun! The pic of me flexing was not by choice. Mike and Alex managed to squeeze by that boulder because of oncoming traffic but with the full widths, had to go over it! Oh and the black Jeep almost flopping was with the Christian Wheeling club out of the springs.

    Thanks for the pics!

    Is the far left line (easy line) to get past that first obstacle still accessible for those of us unable to do the fun stuff?

    It is, both hard obstacles have easy lines available.

    Turns out my forward facing camera wasn't mounted high enough so my dash bar and window banner cover the bottom third of the frame, therefore I didn't process any of those clips.

    Here is a compilation of the usable ones. The sound is pretty bad.

    Forgot about the first set of rocks. My passenger hub was sticking so was in 3 wheel drive for a while.
