Tray Mountain ride this Saturday (2/1/14)

Thanks for letting us tag along, we enjoyed the ride and those are some great pics. Bell Mtn was a slippery mess so you didn't miss anything, Ken an I made it thru the V-notch but the H2 didn't fair so well on the bypass.  I noticed my fuel cell started leaking (RCI cells are junk) so I turned around for that while Ken went down and winch the H2 off the tree and got him turned around. We purchased a bar of soap to rub on the leak and stopped that for the trip home. Hope to ride with you again some time soon.

Yeah thanks to Ken for winching me out. Much appreciation there.
First thing I did today was get my winch operational

Dude, what did you have to do to get your winch operational?

Unless his winch is different from mine all he had left to do was the easiest part, wire it up.

I got it Friday and had to fab up the mount for it. Didn't get to the wiring before Saturday morning.
I was under the impression a winch wouldn't be necessary for tray mtn.

That makes sense.  I would not have expected a winch to be required for any of that path ahead of the pictures I saw...and knowing how bad Bell could be when moist.

At least you got it nailed down now.  I'd love to hit that area if you guys decide to do that same path.

A winch is always necessary with a hummer. HAHAHA Jk. I had to winch also because I snapped my axle, so don't feel to bad.

Well when he was pinned up against that tree at Bell Mtn, a winch was definitely needed.

i went up to Tray today. As we are taking a break at the campsite at the top, a Saab filled with three laughing girls are passing us by, heading east the way we just came. I was in shock, guessing it wasn't as bad the rest of the way. I walked back down to see where they got stuck, they had gotten out and started walking down (back the way we had just come up, if you were to start Tray from the East trailhead), one of them with a rifle slung on her shoulder. Guess the bearded man standing next to his Jeep scared them? Anyway, I shouted to them that they should just back up and go back the way they came.
Was so weird.
