If you think that was bad, wait until you see the yellow TJ on a trailer that I followed all the way from Moab back to Biloxi, even stayed in the same hotel room as me, very creepy

Now, the rest of the scenery/going home pictures. I still need to copy all the action pictures and videos to my Photobucket account, which is about to "exceed its bandwidth......"

Heading north out of town.

Various pictures of "Pickle" and "Mashed Potato" trails.

And now, the heading home pictures. I can't remember where one state starts and stops, but basically Utah, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, and finally, Mississippi.

 

[spankrjs]

More heading home pictures.

 

[spankrjs]

And finally, back home, where "The Pine Trees Grow So Tall In The Bright Sunshine..........................."

I need to copy all of my friends good trail action pictures/videos and post them up still, but that's it for now.

 

[spankrjs]

Time for some action shots. I will try to identify the locations to the best of my recollection. NOTE - Most pictures do not do justice to the beauty or difficulty of the trails. The hills, ledges, climbs, decents and drop offs all look small in these pictures, but reallity is much different. Besides Pritchett, which is rate a "5" on a "1-4" scale, all of the trails we ran were a "4" on a "1-4" scale. Besides winching at Pritchett, at "Chewey", "Axle Hill", and the last obstacle out of the canyon, and winching once at the "Wedge" on "Pickle Trail", I was able to drive all of these trails. But, I do have selectable lockers front and rear, 4:1 in the 300, 33" tires, MPI, etc, but I still had a great/challenging/very fun experience. A less equipped rig might not have as much "fun".

First group of pictures are me winching up "Chewy" on Pritchett. There are two permanent winch points located here. The pictures do not do the steep/off camber angles justice at all. Lots of broken glass and paint chips at the bottom of this obstacle.

A few random Pritchett pictures.

 

[spankrjs]

The last obstacle on the way out of Pritchett Canyon. The bottom approach to the rock face has a huge hole, so my rear bumper halted forward progress. Once I winched the rear bumper out of the ground, I was able to drive up. The last two pictures reinforce the "azz dragger" nickname.

Unnamed ledge at Pritchett.
