Re: Stockers w/o Lockers
Despite the time this run took I had a great time myself. I'd never done Red Cone and loved it and will be going back soon and taking Barb next time. This is exactly the kind of trail she loves. Not particularly challenging but with fantastic views.
It was nice meeting some new people and connecting faces to usernames. Of course the late return home wasn't expected and I hope nobody thinks this was in any way a "typical" run. It does exemplify the "expect the unexpected" aspect of any run.
Thanks to everyone for a good time and I hope to see you on another, less eventful, run!

Re: Stockers w/o Lockers
I have some video. Too many clouds when we got to the top for any good photos from the top. And I figured I should leave my camera and tripod in the truck with the lightning that we were seeing.
Re: Stockers w/o Lockers
it was fun yesterdayminus the fire in my truck
(sorry if i got little emotianable). i was i running tailgunner all day. and when i put the new tranny mount in they looked identacle but i guesse its off by 1/4 inch in height and made my front drive shaft knukle was rubbing on my crossmember. thanks for the hand everyone in the qiuk fix. my truck did really good and made it around the tight switch backs in 1 and 2 points turns. the one points i was really side ways. i was nice meeting new people and seeing old friends. we got home and fixed his patroit. we put the body panel back on and straighted his exhausts back out. ill let yall know if he comes to work tonight(if not dead) here are some pics
Re: Stockers w/o Lockers
more pics. ireally could not get more of the others cause i was in back. the second pic shows armondo being pulled up the hill by randy.
Re: Stockers w/o Lockers
Agreed......lets let the dead horse lie or what not....
Now onto more fun stuff. I got the few pictures I took doctored up and am here to share them with you.
The spot where I turned around to come see what people were up to down the trail...
Part way up Red Cone, after getting up above treeline.
Looking down at the bottom half of the group. We were in contact with the rest of the group via CB at this point, and Randy finally found a place to put a hook on Armando's Patriot. Wanted to get the first half up the trail, so that the group getting the Patriot up the steep hill below wouldn't have to stop at all.
Lots of pics looking up at the first downhill come down Red Cone

Re: Stockers w/o Lockers
Nice pics, keep-em coming!
Re: Stockers w/o Lockers
A few more Red Cone pics..
This one kind of looks like a "stock" Jeep Photo you would see in a magazine....
Brutus, after Randy scared everyone at the bottom of the hill, after just letting his clutch go at the steepest part...
Proof that the Patriot made it down the steep hill in one piece. We are pretty sure its the only Patriot to ever be up there, and that Armando should send these pics into Jeep to get a "trail rate" decal for it.
My favorite pick of the day, contrasting colors, ominous looking clouds, a cool rover coming down, what more could you ask for?
Another cool shot, with Roland having made it down safely, Chris on his way down, and everyone talking about how scary but cool it was (except for Roland, who played it cool and said "that was fun 10 years ago".
Despite the drama, I think pretty much everyone had a good time, and had a good attitude. Learned some lessons, had an adventure, a few scary moments, but overall had a good day.

Re: Stockers w/o Lockers
. I was hoping to do Webster and Georgia, since those looked more suitable for "Stockers without Lockers" 
Maybe we can do a "SwL" 2.5 soon? We would really like to get together and meet you guys/gals Re: Stockers w/o Lockers
.
now all smoothed out it was really really really fun. the low gearing in my truck i never touched my brakes coming down. BIG difference between my burb and that old jeep. Re: Stockers w/o Lockers
