Heading into LT..



The "8 Day Buggy" gettin it done




Lenny making it look easy






Geoff heading to rescue a buggy with his XJ






What that? Oh.. yeah, that's just two CHEROKEES pulling back over a buggy.


I know you can't see it, but that is Alan driving Joes' jeep.. lucky!


Joe trying to save his jeep from Alan :) lol




Gotta love that paint job... beautiful.


Geoff being awesome, it's what he does.

Looks like a blast!

Couldn't let Geoff show him up..


such a sick jeep..




No dice.










Mark giving "The Crack" a try heading into DH








He was so so close..




Joe making it look easy

He needs 40s :)


Don't recommend running DH on 37s


Amazes me how those 37s look so small... Even Geoffs 40s are dwarfed by these rocks.


























Anybody in here?

Last bolder field climbing out of DH


Geoff was getting bored, so he thought he'd spice it up a little bit.


"I don't wanna look, I don't wanna look"


"dang it...I looked.."


Winching to a more open spot as to not ruin the tire


"Look Mike! Just for you :)"






Getting himself between a rock and a...well, rock.




He managed to flip a rock up between the top of his tire and his fender... skills.






Geoff bent his shackles a bit lol



All in all, had a great day! It was fun to run the trail that originally got me hooked on 4wheeling (Die Hard) again and always love seeing everyone and meeting new faces.

Lol, I thought I heard him say that in the video :))

Holy sweet pics Avis man!

good times everyone! this was a really fun run. here are a few pics from my phone.

WHAT a great time. Here is how Die Hard felt... LOL. Needless to say, Danny had a incredible time.

This one has a little different feel from my previous videos. :)

...and I LOVE the new Contour HD camera... still learning, but getting more and more ideas.

I had a great time Saturday. Thanks everybody for letting me tag along! It was awesome to meet everybody and put names and faces with screen names and avatars. I took a few pictures with my phone. Here are some of the better ones.













Ouch...


Saw this cool guy too.

Love the video Alan! freakin awesome

like the video alan. do you think you could send me the clip of me when i went up that water fall ?

Heres some unedited pics. Sorry they didnt turn out great, I didnt set the camera up for stills. Ill have the video up soon

Thank you Chris for getting pics of my Jeep. Being at the back of the pack it is easy to be overlooked. Linda, was worried the kids would freak out if she got out so she stayed in the Jeep.

Most excellent, Mike. I love the Jeep dance party shot and Geoff going down the buggy line backwards.

and guys... i have to say one more time: Thank You. This was such an awesome run. Everyone took care of their own business, my cousin Danny had an INCREDIBLE time and (quite frankly) with the quality of rigs out there, we looked like bad asses. LOL

i did start a thread on the VJC (yes, with all the drama, q-tips, sex change, drunk driving, getting stoned, missing persons drama CRAP on there) so that we could actually show what actually wheeling is all about. We did that. So, if you haven't posted your pics on the VJC yet, go ahead... brag a little, and show 'em what a HigherGround run looks like. LOL We even made LT look challenging with all the cool buggy lines everyone took and the excellent array of pictures that were taken.

I had a blast. i appreciate each of you and I'm so glad as many people made it out as did. Nice to see old friends like Goeff and Yellowsub getting dirty again, and nice to run with new friends as well.

Kudos, guys.

Finally got some time to post pics. My wife stayed in the truck most of the time because we didn't know how the kids would react to offroading. Little did we know they wanted me to go where the buggies went. LOL.

Bubba



Notice her grin. That's my daughter Morgan.



Bubba again.

Everywhere you look there's a hall monitor on the VJC.

Hope I fixed this shot enough to their liking
