Snowbird is a beautiful place, and we didn't get to see but a small part of it. I'm looking forward to see what it turns into with more trail work and traffic. I'll let Brooks do his usual recap, but here's some of the pictures I took:

Brooks, Joe, JR, and Gillis trying an obstacle in the bowl area. It was slick! Joe was the only one to make it up.

Click to expand...
waterpump called it quits. I noticed saturday night that my front axle was wet, i assumed it just hadnt dried from the mud... nope, it was antifreeze. We went and got a pump and I tore my jeep down and was ready to swap in the new one.... wrong one... went back in... he had given me the wrong box. Got the correct one and got it back together around 4. We stopped in clemson on the way home. I drove on back last night, gillis and JR chilled out at the clemson offroad headquarters.

I had a good time! Don't have much in terms of pictures but I took Steve's camera and went to town. Friday was a good day with thorough re-familiarization with winching techniques. Looks like Saturday was a good day of trail riding!

The call to go home Saturday was a good one. Stopped in between Blairsville and Dahlonega to find some MAJOR axle wrappage. Spent some time with the bottle jack to straigthen out the last good leaf on that spring.

I made a relaxing drive up to our campsite on friday and saw a few sites. Wish I had gotten more pics from camp but i wasnt able to as i hurried trying to make sure I had a spot once I found the trail.

First stop was the rock on 418 and 385, there is a geocache hidden there.

Second stop was the saluda river power plant in pelzer. there is a trail leading out of town that has some large dirt pushups, that was the second geocache stop.

Third Picture is of camp friday night on charlies creek in GA. (beautiful area with a cool trail and some free campsites)

Fourth pic is driving from camp to murphy sat morning, boy was it foggy.
