nice pics again was good to get out with you guys

[Greg D]

I was planning to post some photos & video, but having some trouble with my new camcorder.

Thanks David for leading the trip on short notice, and to Todd for giving me the chance to use my new winch.
We got a bit of light rain as we aired down, and for the first few minutes on the track, but no rain after that, and the track was pretty dry, so the potential bad weather held off. I really enjoyed the day, testing my TJ on various sections. I decided not to do the final steps, but apart from that I did enjoy the challenges.
David did a great job as trip leader - leading the way with virtually no assistance, but jumping out of his jeep at every possible opportunity to assist Todd & I with spotting & guidance. Thanks David, I appreciate your help.

any pics and vids yet greg how did the shock repair go?

[Greg D]

Todd,

Still working on the videos - I used a new CamCorder, and am working on the best way to edit them.

I have ordered new shocks from Wooders - the broken one is still holding up OK.

I only had a few still photos on my CamCorder:
