That was fun.  Thanks to everyone that set it up and kept the group together today.  Wish I could've stayed around for beers and stories! 

Didn't take many pics.

I'm convinced that Clark amd Justin are the same person as they are never both in the same place at the same time.

Enjoyed the ride. Very nice that it wasn't as muddy and rutted as we thought it could be. Sorry I couldn't make the stop in Helen.

I was at the absolute end of the line and took zero pictures. Hayden even brought his good camera and didn't shoot any unfortunately.

I do have two stories:

1.  Justin left his coffee on his rear fender flare. It made it all the way out of the Wal Mart parking lot and didn't dump until about 1/4 mile down the road. It was funny until It fell and I realized it was almost full... as a coffee fiend I felt bad for him.

2.  Either Danny or Jordan had many burritos last night.  More than once they had to completely open doors and vent the LJ as we were bouncing down the trail. At one point I thought for sure Jordan was going to jump out just for the fresh air.

That is wrong. Then after we stopped a Sunrise grocery I think they were eating Boiled Peanuts


I had a good time. What I did learn is go ahead and air down and disconnect. Wow that was a bumpy ride

It was a great ride and not too muddy, thanks guys.  //toast//

Too busy having a good time so no pics.

Just curious, who was it that called back a asked if the WJ made it through the hill on Flatland? Trust me, I wasn't the slow one in the group. Old but not slow...  //OLDSKOOL//  //popcorn//

1.  I would be bummed too as I need my coffee.
2.  Hysterical  - is that what caused all the fog in that picture earlier in the thread.

Thanks @Doug and the GATR Core Staff that helped pull this ride together and made sure we had a good day. It was good to see some familiar faces and to make some new friends.  //cheers2//

Seriously? Air Down and disconnect---lol  //LMAO//

 I like riding those easy trails when they are slightly wet because you don't need to air down or disconnect but then I guess we all have different comfort levels.  We have some pics but the photographer is crashed out on the couch.

We had fun!  as for the airing down, I wish I had only for a softer ride.....I had 35psi. I looked in the mirror and it looked like my dog was line dancing in the back of the JK....... Thanks for the day...

We had a great time!  On flatlands road as soon as we went past the first water crossing, my check engine light came on and my truck kept dying, ( the only truck on the ride ) it was missing and not running right.  When I got to the second "canyon" I heard someone say " all you need is momentum ". As I started up the hill my truck stalled and almost died, this caused me to lose all my momentum and I was stuck up against the wall, like all the way up on it.  I was able to back up and after a couple of tries, and hearing someone say "the pickup is stuck" I  feathered the throttle and was able to get up the hill. (Engine was cutting out big time) From my seat it was an exciting way to get out.  I was able to nurse truck back to the paved road, turned truck off  for a couple minutes as we waited, when I started it back up, check engine light was off and had no issues the  rest of the day
  Enjoyed the night ride up tray mountain

It was good meeting you and I'm glad the gremlin was gone for the rest of the ride.

Funny story to me anyways.    My wife does not like trail riding, never goes.  My older son loves it.  My youngest I wasn't really sure until today.  As soon as we get on the first trail, he looks up from his iPad and says "what's the point of all this?".  That's exactly what his mother would say.  So I pretty much know where he stands now.

Today was fun. I normally don't get to join the "street legal" rides since I trailer my other rig every month. You really forget how awesome it is to be able to drive your jeep on the streets. The beer afterwards didn't suck either

Hello everyone.  My son and I had a great time. Sorry we missed the dinner. I got a Go-Pro for Christmas and this is my first time using it and my first time using you tube.  Anyway, I've pasted the link below to my video from Saturday's trip.  Thank you to GATR for coordinating a great trip!

Here's my video from this year. Not much footage of anyone doing anything real exciting but you can see the trail from my jeep's point of view at least. Enjoy.

it's "parasail". It's a music track from a Youtube free music channel. I got tired of having my videos shut off or the audio muted by the music. I have a link in the description on the actual youtube video.
