BOWAGWR - Slaughterhouse 7-27-07

[Rzeppa]

Thanks again Matt for leading this run. I love it every year! King had a blast too, he'll be taking a lot of memories back to Shanghai with him - I don't think the 4 wheel in China much, especially around big cities. He took over 260 photos! I took 22

Anyway, here's a baker's dozen.

This first one is Matt conducting the driver's meeting:

 

[Rzeppa]

These next two are first me, then Matt coming the first hill from the meadow. I selected these because we are both in almost exactly the same spot, taking the exact same line.

 

[Rzeppa]

Seem's every time I take Chris' photo, he's got that perma-grin going )

 

[Rzeppa]

Again, King had a blast. We all went up the hill, back down and back up again several times. Here, King rides up with Matt.

 

[Rzeppa]

Jeff Z. (the other Jeff Z. and family are having a great time too!

 

[Rzeppa]

Not sure who's 80 is getting the wheelstand there. Following were Kirk and his family (4 kids in the jumpseats!). It was great to wheel with Chris and his Purple Taco again too, it's been a while.

 

[Rzeppa]

I really like seeing Tim having so much fun in his 40! Dude's a regular bobblehead with a perma-grin!

 

[Rzeppa]

This is Dan's son Dustin doing a wheelstand in Dad's 80. King took one shot and I took the other. Kid's a good driver!

I had the same angle as Carlton on Kim's wheelstand, but his came out better, so I'm not putting it up here.

 

[Rzeppa]

I have 100s of other photos too. I'll stick 'em up on my web space, so you can pull down any you want in hi-res. Mine were at 4Mp and King's were at 1Mp. Happy cruisin'!

Not sure who's 80 is getting the wheelstand there.

Great pictures, Jeff!

That's John in the 80 catching air.

Looks like it was a ton of fun. I am bummed that I missed the run that all the 40s came out to play. I should just quit my job and wheel!

GREAT pics everyone! Just got back from 10+ days up in Grand Lake so as soon as I have a chance I'll dig through the photos we took and get some posted up as well.

A big thanks to the club and to Matt for leading. We had a great time and I got to learn even more about 4-wheeling.

The most memorable part of the trip for me was hearing the wife say "You're not taking the bypass!" on the last major obstacle that gave everyone a nice DS wheel stand (pics in post #28 IIRC) while making you feel like you were going to slide into the tree. After following Nemo around most of the day and watching what his rig did I started to head for the bypass. The wife would have nothing of it

Wish I would have had the camera at the ready to catch Nemo doing his wheel stand!

Not far from Denver. The trailhead is about 6 miles north of US285 off of Park county road 43, Arapaho Nat'l Forest. Basically between Pine Junction and Bailey.

Hulk, started a trend by going up backwards - action sequence

Impromptu flex shots - Didn't even realize until someone mentioned it and I got out to look...Note the LX is sitting uphill, but level side to side

LX action sequence shots

Taco coming up

FJ40 coming up

Another nice view

Finally, shots of Nemo going through some of the "tippy" sections...I'm not particularly fond of the tippy stuff
