This weekend the club had planned to head up to Boulder Creek to explore the area. Most of us had not been to far up the Creek. Dave, Greg, and I headed out about 9am from the local meet place. Got to the trail head and air down and headed off. Greg and Dave headed out to get Bill around 6PM Saturday night. Only Dave and Bill returned. Dave blew a bearing in his axle and forgot to pack a spare bearing..

This section is harder then it looks. There is a 30 yard long section of mud, them you have to climb a 4' vertical mud face with a hugh rock sticking 1' or so out over the pit. Just to get to the rock section. IF you take the mud, there's a 3' drop into mud and water. Then another 3' ledge to climb up out of the hole. I got a sweet video of me bouncing my way up and over the rocks. Gotta love solid axles, the TTB would have died doing that.
Me stuck in the mud. Took a long muddy section, then got crossed up trying to get out of it to make our turn to the creek to head to camp.

Not sure what the animal is, but it was seen running around, trying to make us pet it all weekend. And the darn thing was sheading(sp) like you wouldn't beleive. 1 of 3 that was hanging around all weekend.

At the end of Boulder We ran it to a deadend so I had to turn around on a really high platue with some hugh rocks. But I got a cool flex pic. on this little section.

Going back across to take a man on an ATV back to get his sons machine.. Damn water was deep. We pulled both ATVs across because there was no way in hell that they where going to get across. IT was there first trip out on the new machine. Already killed on trying to cross.

Fell into this hole after pulling the machines out. I thought I was going to roll, my mirror when I fell in was only inches away from the ground when I stopped falling.. This is a bit after that though.

Rock section on the way out. 2 Broncos what an awsome sight. My starter was acting up and wouldn't crank through the relay. Had to jump it straight to the battery to get it to work.. But all was good after that.

Bill getting stuck in a little mud hole. He's on 33's and open diff. His Lockrite blew up last week sometime so he had to run his old open carrier for the run.

After the run we hit a small really clear creek to clean the undercarage. Just a few pics my dad took of us playing around.

All and all was a great run. No major damage, other then my tach stopped working and I almost had a radius arm bracket come off because the nuts where almost off the bolts. :duh
