I didn't take a single photo. We had 19 or 20 trucks. Two FJ40s, one 60, a bunch of 80s, several 100s, a couple of 200s, several 4Runners and trucks, and a VW Toureg.
It was a beautiful day. Blue sky everywhere, and hardly a whiff of smoke that has been in the air for weeks. We had a big group that naturally gets spread out on the trail, which made for slow going and waiting, but no one seemed to mind. For many of us, it had been months since we'd seen each other in person, so we were just grateful to be together in the great outdoors.
We ran Slaughterhouse Gulch, as we have for most of the BOWAGW runs. The trail was busy, even on a Wednesday afternoon. On the way in, a group of 5 built newer Toyotas passed us heading out. They were drool worthy. There was a guy on a motorcycle who was doing loops on the trail -- it seemed like he would pass us every 20 minutes or so. Overall, the trail is in pretty good shape.
@Workinonit mentioned that he lives a couple of doors down from one of the original Rising Sun club members, so that was super interesting. I am hoping he can connect us. After all, our 40 year anniversary as a club is next year!
@fjc man brought his red '79 FJ40, but he bugged out in the middle of the trail run without telling anyone, which caused some alarm from us old timers who try to make certain we don't leave anyone behind.
@DanielChase told us about randomly meeting Rising Sun old member June Bennett at a diner in Wyoming. Small world. Probably only a few guys on here will have ever even heard that name, right?
@Shark Bait @Rzeppa @Uncle Ben will probably know her.
There was much chatter on ham frequency 147.420 and just a little on CB channel 4.
We saw cows in the meadows on the way out. I don't recall ever seeing cows back in this area, and I bet I have run this trails 20 times.
