ha ha, sounds like a good time though.  I'm sorry I couldn't make it, next time for sure!

@Mike O: ...and then an hour or so later, we went down to the main obstacle course, I decided to do the big concrete pipes, got most of the way across and then got completely hung up/high centered on the big one at the end.  And since I busted my rear recovery loop in Moab, I had to be pulled out backwards by one of my sliders.  I was a bad bad girl yesterday LOL  Much less graceful shenanigans than at Bald Mountain, for sure!

Rob got through a kinda hairy run up the ravine (pretty rutted out yesterday) that spooked me just watching it.  I went next and got all the way to the top where there was a lot of very loose dry dirt, and managed to get both my rear driver's side wheel and my front passenger wheel stuck in some big holes.  The other 2 tires were off the ground.  I finally turned on my rear locker (I've been on a locker-free kick but still using A-trac). The more I struggled to get out, the deeper I dug myself in at the rear--almost all the way up to my bumper.  I couldn't go forward or backward.  We tried towing me out but the other truck slid sideways and lost traction.  Finally, I sent a truck out to collect a few decent sized rocks which we shoved under the wheels and I was able to back down the V-notch a ways and drive out the side.  It was quite an ordeal!

Okay, I learned my lesson.  I hereby solemnly swear to start using my rear locker again and to turn it on *before* I am hopelessly stuck ;-D

Sucks I couldn't make it. Looks like it was good times.

@Rob - nice!  But I don't think you got your wheel up quite high enough at 1:45!  Nicely done.  Makes my run look like the Never-Ending Story... two wheels in big holes and two off the ground [oooooops]

lol Rob its not a good wheeling run unless you break something on your truck! and Kara you sure did make V-Notch harder for anyone else that was going to try it after you dug those ruts even deeper
