Just thought I'd post some pics of a recent wheeling trip where we had a group of East Coast Broncos meet up with some California Broncos with a Texas Bronco brokering the deal!! Broncitis hauled out 3 East Coast Broncos from PA, I joined him in UT and we caravanned to Truckee, CA. We then met up with 4 California folks and ran the Rubicon and the upper part of Fordyce - the river was too high to cross. 4 days on the trails and 2 overnights! MEB, LEBC and SoCal Broncos were all represented.

The Rubicon was awesome and exceeded my expectations. I was expecting to be disappointed because of all the hype about the Rubicon but it did not disappoint! Fordyce was awesome as well - very technical. We then caravanned to Moab and wheeled there for a couple of days hitting Cliffhanger and Poison Spider. To top it off we then attended LEBC's week-long Lonestar Bronco Mountain Ride in Buena Vista CO where we ran Chinaman's, Holy Cross, Tincup and Grizzly Lake. It was an awesome 2 weeks of wheeling hitting some of the best known trails in CA, Moab and CO. Also we threw in a white water rafting trip on Brown's Canyon during the LBMR II event!

That's a ton of wheeling! haha sounds fun...and exhausting;D

Mitch, yes, we were tired at the end of the 2 weeks!

I am enjoying retirement!

Awesome trip Gary!

My crawler did all the trials without winching and with no significant breakage. I did need to replace the alternator at the end of week 1 and I found my rear caliper brackets were broken after I got home. But no breakage on the trails.

Man I still need to make it out to Colorado and cross those off my list!

CO has some awesome trails. Look for announcements on LBMR III for next summer.

Awesome adventure!

Thanks!
