Trail westward clear boys

 

Damn wish I saw this earlier. Everybody bailed on an ocotillo trip today and I’ve been sitting around just trying to get on some dirt all day.

 

Next time!

 

Had a good time out today. Was able to hit a trail with the new tires, happy with the results. It Was a bit of a drive but well worth it. Thanks for letting me tag along! Cheers fellas!

 

@AY_ARONTRD It was great seeing you again, man. 'Til next time!

 

Is that Marie? Marie from Head Strong?

 

Wait, wait wait... Is that MARIE from HEADSTRONG!?

 

Everyone,

Thanks again for coming along on today's outing and we had a total of 13 trucks in all! 12 Yota's that included 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Gens along with two different generations of 4Runners. The only outlier was a 2WD Nissan Frontier driven by @computeruser6 who had it as a rental while his own Yota is still in transit from Guam. The hardest hill climb took that Nissan a couple of attempts, but got it done with a good run at the bottom with an improved line. @computeruser6 demonstrated his skills today! This trail was a first for everyone who all agreed that it was worth the long haul on the pavement to get to. There was lots of talk about turning this run into annual event with an overnight stay at the trestle which is certainly doable and something that I'll be looking into for next year.

Video from my front/rear dashcam is going to take some time since each 5 minute files has to be converted from mov to mp4, but the entire trail will be posted when I have it converted and spliced together. Two videos will be done, one for the front and one for the rear. I'll have photos posted up on Sunday and Monday.

Hey, @Norsemanvike, thanks for the wonderful summary! Looking forward to seeing those sweet pictures and video you took. Thanks again for organizing this run. It was a great time!

 

My pleasure! And looking forward to another run with you... Maybe your co-pilot won't harass your rig as much...

 

It was a good time! Thanks Randy, for Organizing!

 

Thanks again for putting this together Randy! @Norsemanvike

Had a great time...looking forward to the next one.

 

Thanks! Randy totally had a blast and meeting everyone. @Titus94 your photo on top of T4R should be included on this years calendar.

 

Thank you so much @Norsemanvike for organizing the run. It was a great mixture of a trail IMO. Also thank you @AY_ARONTRD for the invite. It was nice to get some more trail time on the 4Runner. And as always a thank you to @Titus94 for being so entertaining!!! It was a pleasure hanging put with you all and hope to do it again soon
