On top of the Tyee today. Cameras always seem to suck at catching rainbows but if you look carefully you can see there is one.
Wow what a crazy day!
We had a larger than expected turn out and lots of action on the trails today.
There was a dozen trucks at the meet but a few split off and went on their own but I can't say I blame them. Despite the larger group of varying capability, we managed to get everyone through relatively unscathed and then everyone got the chance to challenge themselves on the trails and obstacles they were comfortable doing on the mines side, while others had the option to take easier routes and still have a lot of fun together.
I'd like to thank everyone for coming out today and making it a great and memorable run. I'm definitely looking forward to going out for an overnight group run later where we can camp out and make a real weekend out of it.
I'm just glad I only fucked 1/3 fasteners on one mirror doing Fucked My Mirror with my mirrors on this time. I think out of everyone who damaged something today I got off the easiest since that's an easy and free DIY fix for me. Already did the passenger side once after an incident last year up Sicker when reversing out of a wrong turn. A branch clipped the passenger mirror and took it right off while I was looking over my shoulder on the driver side. Bugger!
I'll say this, Westshore Spring & 4X4 is sure getting swamped with all the business we're doing with them lately. ;-)
Cheers!

I'm off to bed now.
To everyone who is coming, see you in the morning at Mt Sicker Chevron at 10:15am for round 2...
I only took one actual photo. Was too busy driving most of the time. Got a couple quick vids as well.
Everyone else get back alive?
Rich, Jess, nice to meet both of you today and congrats on owning the hell out of the trails on your first post-lift run.
Lance, good seeing you again and thanks for picking up my slack. I apologize that we had to cut out a bit early.
I had hoped to get at least one more trail in but when Stacy says she's done I know that means she's done.
She can usually take about 2-4hrs worth of actual offroading before the motion sickness starts to kick in but once it does it's just not fun for her anymore so we're working on building up her tolerance and whatever else might help. She feels bad because she really enjoys it but just doesn't have the stamina for all day wheeling trips yet. Perhaps when we get her in her own rig, being in control may help her overcome it.
I didn't seem to break anything today so it looks like I'll be back out again tomorrow, solo this time but with a larger group so it might get interesting. I think we're going to poke around a bit more on the top side before finishing the day off with F'd My Mirror or maybe the River Trail and up to the Hill60 side. Who knows...
