MILLER CANYON WATERFALL RUN 7-30-11

Great ride today! Big thanks to Rich for organizing and leading and Papa Bear and others for sweeping and being on the radios. Thank you for the great spotting up both Ballbuster and Waterfall. I knew I would only do those trails with the Underground.
 
yes great ride!!

freezen I hope you didnt think I was tailgating you...I was trying to stay out of the dust is all....didn't get to introduce myself after.

can't wait for next trip!
 
Looks like you guys had a good time! I talked with a couple of you guys at Pinnecles (I was not in your group though). But anyway you guys incouraged me to join the fourm. So next time you go on a ride hit me up.
 
The Back of the Pack was an interesting place! ;)

First off, Great Ride. To Rich, thanks for awesome job organizing the ride! Sorry we couldn't stick around for the BBQ, but we really appreciated the offer. To Papa Bear, thank you for your patience and Macgyver skills. Without your help we wouldn't have gotten past the first 5 minutes of the ride. Dan, thanks for the beers!!!

The R1 held up through the run. We had to stay behind at the bridge due to the lack of 4WD. But we had plenty of time to relax, 2 HOURS!!! lol. To the couple that stayed behind with the broken CV, thanks for the company and drinks! This was the first all day trip this Rhino has seen since the motor swap. Not the best place to try it out, but it gave me the opportunity to really push it. The new Cognito suspension ate up rocks, ruts, holes, and jumps (when I could get the space for speed) with ease. I've learned quite a few things about this new motor. It loves high RPM's and going fast, but it's lazy when it comes to slow crawls. It just doesn't like it. I forgot your name, but thanks for pulling me up that hill! Also, not having reverse really sucks. I'll have to reconsider that part of this build for sure. This car was built for the sand and open spaces. I think it should stay there.

The most fun part of the ride was the ride back after leaving Pinnacles. I don't know the name of the kid in the XP in front of me, but thanks for the fun ride. As soon as we hit the pavement he opened up that XP and off we were. I don't know how fast we went, but it was fun. It was the first time I was able to hit 3rd of 6 gears!!! I also managed to get a few drifts in. The trails back to camp were just as fun.

It was great seeing riders from three different forums get together and help each other out. Angelica (my wife) has never really been into the whole offroading thing, but she loves the outdoors and anything that involves trees, animals, and creeks. She even showed interest in buying an XP! Rich, I don't know if you planned it, but having that doe (deer) prancing about made her day.

Dan, be patient and try and hold off torching your Rhino. lol. Let me know when you and dbestduner (or anyone for that matter) want to hit some sand!

A big Thank You to everyone! Despite some setbacks, we had a great time.
 
Just watch the forum! We don't care what you bring or the beer you drink, but if I do drink beer it's Does XX ;););) We will be going to Cactus Flats next weekend and doing some great riding to Rattlesnake Canyon and back!
What kind of riding is that? Flat, high speed, or slow and up hill?
 
this was an aweome ride thanks to all that helped. I wish I coul of stayed for the BBQ but I had bday party to attend. it was great meeting the other dan lol, papa bear, onerich and everyone else I met.
