had a great trip today at sunflower. ended up with around forty jeeps. met a lot of new people and i got to see clifford and clifford is lookin sweet!! also saw virgil at the end of the run. over all it went pretty smoothly. a few flats, overheating, and a couple of broken parts.

from what a lot of people who ran last year compared to this year was surprised of how much new boulders and rock areas were there this year. a lot of areas the were easier are now more challenging.

big red did awsome. crawled through everything i took her through. what a difference the 35's make. some of those areas i might have bypassed with my old set up but with this new i crawled right through. this was a good shakedown run for it.

i only got a few pictures of the landscape. one of the rare times i wasn't in the mood to take a ton of pictures. overall though i had a great time and met a lot of new people.8)

heres a few pics from rox she was two jeeps up from me.

lining up to go

someone sporting a new tee shirt??

didn't see him where did he come from??

ranger amy said he had to fix before we could go on

46 vehicles ran the trail, plus 4 of us that stayed back and tracked everyone from the start/finish.

Here's a few of my photos from the day.
