Fun day with Shawn and Mark today. We all took our time in the lead and tested our rigs some...
Mark has had his RHD Jimny for about a week and did a great job on the trails with no power steering and probably a level up or so on what he wanted to run but he and the Jimny did great! Shawn is fearless and rocked the trail in his JKUR.
We started on the west side of Yankee Hill trail and headed toward Central City. We did go up the hill but Mark decided to ride up with me on this one...
After the hill we drove down Yankee till Miners Gulch. After some chat we decided to go for it and just turn around if we weren’t up for that challenge. And a pretty good challenge it was. The further down in the gulch we got, the rougher it got. Shawn and I drove over most of it and Mark, with his maneuvering was able to get around most of the big stuff.
Man, there was a huge smile on Shawn and Marks face at the end of this run. I have been on an organized run in quite some time and seeing them smile made it awesome.
And of course, many of you know, my wife always goes with me. She struggles with anxiety and that’s much of the reason we left this hobby for a while. She said at the end, we need to do more of these and that was fun! That added one smile to the group!
Some pics. I was out front most of the time so hopefully Shawn and Mark got more...
