Slaughterhouse
Cleanup
Father's
Day 2007
My sons and
I attended this event. There were between 10 and 15 vehicles there.
We were the only FSJ. We talked about FSJ's and the list with a
few interested Jeepers. We got lots of compliments on the Jeep,
which is always nice.
The access
road rehab was a success, which will hopefully keep this trail off
the endangered list. We stacked a bunch of rock in the mudpit that
had formed on the access road and blocked off the bypass that had
formed.
After a much
appreciated lunch, which was provided by the event organizers, we
ran Slaughterhouse. It's a fun trail with lots of articulation.
Going up the the long steep section on the way out, my Jeep vapor
locked which contributed to the u joint on my front drive shaft
exploding.
After some
help getting out out of the way of oncoming trail traffic and letting
the enginge cool, we got re-started. I was able to drive out in
2 wheel drive and make it home. It was a good Jeeping day.
