What a great day to be on the trails! Started a little foggy, but cleared up. Mostly sunny during the day, nice and cool as well. Ok, that's the report for the toyota group, scroll down for the Jeeps!
Members present: B, Chief57, Daddanlena, Icky, james78, quadna71, shorebird, Slopar, whatevah. (that I remember, it's been a long day)
We split up into two groups, with Randy (shorbird) leading the blue-ish group with Chief57, Icky, quadna and james78. There was another guy with them as well. I'll let Randy post up what they did (since I don't have the foggiest.)
I kinda led a blue-black group with B (Brandon?), Daddanlena (Wayne) and Slopar (Steve). We started off with a hill climb off Lower3, then headed over to check out CV trail. After running down the black section and out the blue section, we ran Yellow Jacket Ridge and did our best to get tires in the air. From there, we ran a little bit of 1 and then ran Trail 2 in its entirety, using no bypasses (except for the Frog Hole). Once we arrived back at the Pole Line, Randy and B split off to get gas and I ran the 5 foot deep hole, and succeeded! 
After Steve and I finished playing in the mud, we ran the rest of trail 2 up to Crawlers Ridge. Once again, no bypasses. After eating a nice lunch, we used the 101 trail to shortcut into the West property and ran "J" and "J1" to get to the trails. "J" was extremely washed out, even with my longarms and shackles, my tires were in the air. I'd have freaked out if I was in a stock rig. "J1" is a new trail, so a bit better, but still had some nasty offcamber stuff. Nasty, in that if you roll... you stop when you reach the bottom of the mountain.
Deciding to skip the easy stuff, we proceeded right to Trail 13, a fun "blue-black" trail parallel to Rock Creek. This is where we picked up the only real body damage of the day, Steve got his YJ wedged against a tree and smacked the cowl. I strapped him sideways off the tree so he wouldn't loose the windshield, door and mirror, then we kept going. After a while, we decided to call it a day, so Steve could make it home in time to watch the race. We took trail 10 back up to H and crossed over onto the Power Line trail. After playing a little on the hills (and getting more tire-air time) we went back to the East property, retrieved my front fender flare, and hit the hill climbs on the Pole Line. Steve went right, and I went left. We both made it.
We went back to the parking lot after I attempted a hill climb in the comp course, almost made it... 
After loading Steves YJ onto his trailer and chatting with Randy, we got a call from Wayne letting us know he needed a hand on a trail below the comp course. We headed back and checked it out, he had snapped the drivers stub shaft and was sitting with a tree stump under his body. We strapped him backwards off the stump, then winched and limped his rig back to the parking lot. We swapped the axle shaft with my spare, and put his TJ back together and headed for the Hess station in town for air. Of course, the pump was shot... We all split up and went on our merry ways from there.
great day over all and it was awesome to back on the trails again. sorry we had to leave in a hurry but we had other places to get to in PA before heading back to delaware. thanks again - you did awesome as a trail guide and spotter!
