Then we did H2H. I was too busy wheelin' to take pictures of the trail. :)=)

The day provided us with that perfect AZ sunshine and what turned out to be an excellent trail run. I find myself looking back at the pictures and feel that same rush I did after the Rattlesnake Canyon snow run. It was just awesome.

Thanks John for agreeing to lead. You did excellent. The group ended up about half NAXJA members and they made the day even better by helping spot and get the more stock rigs through the obstacles.

Final Count: 15 rigs
4 TJ's
1 Toy
2 Xterra
1 YJ ???
7 XJ's

Here are some photos from the guy that was driving the newer Xterra. LINK

Cool looks like a good group. No doubt on the weather. I'm so going to cry when AZ's Sprumautum hits.
Hard to believe some of those rigs lacked rocker protection or frames ;)
Thanks for the pics

How were you on H2H, Virgil? I want to run that next time I'm out at FJ (probably Rockfest...)

AWESOME pics buddy. I'm glad you got to wheel. I'm bad jealous. Looked like a good group.

He may have found it but there is no way in H2H he ran it... It would eat his clean little (smaller than 35's) rig alive.

Upper Woody ends at the start of H2H. Took a picture of me at the entrance and we drove out of the wash at that point and headed back. :lol:

LOL That answers all of my questions. Thank you gentlemen! :)=)

Sorry Alan. All of my posts should come with the following comedic disclaimer: "I think I'm hilarious, but my wife tells me I'm not."

PS. Can I ride shotgun, spot, take pictures when you run H2H?

No wonder why I couldn't get past that point, you guys were holding me back.

The guys holding you back are TJ and YJ guys. They didn't want the XJ to show them up.... :)
