Zach and I planned on leaving Arlington around 2, but instead got on the road around noon. It was good to get a jump on any sort of traffic. We ended up passing Cory and Tommy just north of Dallas as they were pulling out of Whataburger. We stopped shortly thereafter at Love's, got some fuel and beer. I weighed the truck/trailer setup while we waited and it was 15280. I think the Bronco weighs alot more than I have always thought.

Checked in at the A&A and headed out to the trails to poke around with about 2 hrs of daylight left. We did the 2nd half of W&W and Tommy ended up getting stuck and I guess while tugging him out, he bent the draglink. ZAP I think made it through with only some scrapes on the nerf bars. Getting Tommy out was a pain in the ass, but we did eventually. We returned to the hotel and some more people had arrived.

On Friday, I thnk everyone hit up the end section of W&W that eventually leads to Green Mamba. Lynda broke the PS pump and Chris lost some wheel studs. Cory, Robbie, Jason's buddy KC, and myself continued on Green Mamba. Robbie's front shaft pulled out for the first time here, but we got it put back together pretty quickly. We followed Busa, Scott, and, Kopecki all the way up. There is plenty of logging going on around that side of the mountain now. On the exit trail, KC snapped a D44 shaft and while we fixed it, the loggers were cutting trees and hauling them out right next to us. We headed back to the motel, where it started to rain, so we huddled under the awning and drank beer and watched Tommy attempt to fix a drag link.

We went to SHorty's Tater Hill Tavern later that night and consumed beverages. I did another pretty sweet donut in the parking lot, but made sure I was much farther away this time. Come to find out that Jason and KC stayed up there a little longer and found some new friends.Text received at 4:20am....."Yall are missin out ***, we found girls"

Saturday started off with another great breakfast at the Bulldog. Cory, me and KC in his Sammi buggys headed out and hit up the first trail off the strip. The rain had made things just slippery enough to make it fun. It was all dry by mid day though. We ran Van Alstyne and eventually ran into some sort of old logging truck blocking the trail. It was a crewcab, on a shortened maybe frame. Some large man wearing a "HUMMER" shirt was working on it. He was a little creepy, but we stuck around till he got it running. Ended up turning around and running some other trails before returning to camp. Another night at Tater Hill, but this time we traveled like rockstars in AC/DCs old bus. Listened to "One-eyed Jack" band and was mesmerized by a lady in a red shirt with robotic hips.

Time to go, so we pile back on the bus, but it won't start. Karl's truck to the rescue. Nix and Austin brought back some locals, but I am not positive on how that ended up.

WTWE was a success, though it has taken a largely pornagraphic turn.

ED, som guy was very disappointed that you were not there. He called himself Srgt Nail and he stopped by looking for you on Friday afternoon.

It was a blast. Good to wheel with Cory in a non POS now. Needs a locker, winch, and maybe some tires, and that Jeep is ready to go. Robbie's Jeep worked much better than in past trips. You can tell it is pretty close to being dialed in. A longer front shaft and a beefier ram mount are on his list for sure. It was great to see Austin and Nix again too.

On Sunday, Austin, Cory, Robbie, and I headed out and did 8 pt and Redneck Millionaire. I made it through with the help of my Hi-lift and winch. Robbie's driveshaft pulled out maybe 6 times but he swears he did the same trail on Saturday with no problems. Pulled him up. Cory took the bypass but ended up breaking his rear shaft again. Austin walked up most of it I think. Got back to the hotle and headed out. Seemed like it took forever to get home.

The Bronco did great. I am such a firm believer in Iroks. Got some new scrapes and scratches. I would like to find a locking transmission dipstick, as at extreme angles, it will pour out. After 3 runs on the ram mounted to diff cover, it looks to be leaking a little, so just need to reseal that, but overall its ready for KRocks in Feb.
