There passing out driving certificates at the subdivision side. The other side we went in was through a hunting lease. Which is sketchy, just not going to be on the GATR calendar in the future.

Wish i could have made the rid but you guys made me proud from the pics. Looks like you did notch and found the peanut butter hole.
-
I had a blast, we definitely enjoyed some good rock climbing. The locals made sure we found everything.

We had a great time today. Cindy was squealing in glee when she climbed the rock in peanut butter bowl, and then later squealing in fear when she thought she was about to roll the truck. :D We especially want to thank Matt for leading us around, and Kevin for making sure none of us got left behind.
-
Looks loke a good time. Hope I can get my rubi ready to go for the next ride.

If your had about a week straight you would hit it all.

This was a fun ride, folks. The family in the Xterra was great, and got up/through a ton of stuff.
The rock ledge climbs were worth the trip... but looking back, I should have stayed out of the V-notch ditches.... :-)

Thanks to chris for convincing me to buy motionx gps app. He kept us in the right direction all day, and now I have some of that place mapped out.

Looks like a good dry day at Aetna. Awesome pictures, especially the v notch. Make sure you throw those underwear away Jared. ;)
-
We had a great time, nice to meet some new people. Jared did a nice job balancing the road rash by laying hi JK on BOTH sides :D....Aiden (my son) especially liked climbing rocks in peanut butter hole. No carnage this time for me...first in a while...

Just got done washing the Jeep. Scratches are minor, especially when considering that Kevin drug me out (on my side) twice. The driver side mirror was ripped off and that left a little bit of sheet metal damage. But should be covered up once I remount the mirror.
We need to figure out a better way into AETNA because it was a lot of fun...

It is still easy to drive in through the subdivision if you have a a street legal rig, right?
What were they writing folks up for?
I wonder if you come out with mud on the tires onto the street and it scatters if that is a violation.

The guy received a ticket for a taillight. However the officer warned that if seen driving through again it would be criminal trespassing. There is new construction in that neighborhood.
He was not allowed into the trails and forced to leave

We had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone again.
This is the program we used to navigate the trails from last year's run. MotionX GPS http://gps.motionx.com/ipad/overview/ (http://gps.motionx.com/ipad/overview/)
I recorded the trail last year on my iPhone and then transferred it to my iPad for this trip. Once we got to Peanut Butter Hole we were able to jump on the trails we ran before. This means it should be easy to share routes as well as display the route on Google. The program costs $2.99 for the full version so its a no brainer. You can also cache the maps ahead of time incase you don't have cellular coverage.
-
Looks like y'all had a great time. Wish I coulda made it up there, but this weekend was Kelly and my one year anniversary. I like the look of that app, I think I'll get it and try it out the next time out.

It's that developer that is trying to illegally intimidate people and seal off access so he can build on it.

Correct. The court ruled that the road is still public acess road and you can drive on it all you want. Just rememeber that you still subject to all the laws of the road.
Till the court rules that the road is closed I will keep riding up there.

The guy that showed us through was not allowed to pass through on that side, he was forced to turn around.

Looked like fun. {toast}

Looked like fun. {toast}
It was Ben. I was crawling up stuff left and right. I remembered to take my time and work the angles. If it didn't feel right I would back up a couple feet then move over a little then go right up. It actually was the best crawling trip yet. You would have thought I was a kid the way I was carrying on. ;D
Didn't know it until I got started back.....I had death wobble from Hell!
When I pulled over and looked, I had bent my tie rod. Time to up grade that.

yes! you got the idea, work one side, move over and find the one that works! Once you figure out there is more than 1 way up an obsticle, you are on your way. The odd lines are sometimes your best friend! Tie rod on a stock tj is crap! Time to beef it up! Ebay is where I bought my RR tie rod for under $100. Has taken a good amount of abuse. {toast}
-
I got a Rough Country and it has held up so far. I have the stock 1 if you need it. I usually carry it on rides for anyone who bends a tie rod.

MikieD - this is what needs to be done at Durhamtown.

agreed. I can't find my around that place. ::)

Great shots {toast}
I need to drop the swaybars next time before i leave. Couldnt do it once on the trail without baking my skin off on various stuff underneath. Their location isnt very access friendly.

I split the topics, for further discussion on Aetna land usage visit the "Mud Pit"
By the way the pictures are great, and looks like an awesome day was had. Got to love dry rocks.

Most people disconnect the rear sways on the Xterra as well, but I'm not how much of a impact it has on the road.
