Trick or Jeep photos

First off, a few words of thanks:
1) aHUGE thank you to the Dyna-team, Mike and Tammy for putting the whole event together.
2) another HUGE thank you to Ninja Will for the awesome job as trail lead/tour guide and to Clint and Bo for helping to scout the trail.
3) a BIG tip o' the hat to Chris (Fiso) for showing up in costume

And now, on to the pictures...

The group gathered and ready to roll

First stop, some ancient Indian ruins -

Some old pottery shards

A view from the past

Next up a little hill climb -

Jim (broncsrule) over the top

Vern (oldhockeyvb) making it look easy

Clint and Bo in the tail-gunner position

Later down the trail time for a stretch break

Dan (Roachman3700) and Chris waiting to continue

I guess they really mean it

On to the first obstacle of the day -

Mike L. (signcutter21) giving it the old college try (pay no attention to the strap off the front of his Jeep)

Kevin (corwyyn) up and over with the help of some judicious rock stacking

Waiting for the rest to get over the rocks

Objects in the mirror may appear closer than they are

Further down the trail we come to a rather bizarre sight, an abandoned home with a huge (I mean HUGE) pile of junk surrounding it.

On to the next major obstacle. Everyone was able to make it up in one fashion or another

Once on top it was time for lunch

Skube looking for a handout

all the excitement was just too much for Chris

Just around the bend from the lunch stop was the last major hurdle for the trail -

Mike L. redeeming his earlier performance

Vern on his way up the ledge

Clint doing his new job of documentary videographer

Finally Will took on the ledge. He bounced around a bit and had to try a couple of lines but in the end he was able to say 'Booyah!'

Up on top of Black Mesa we were able to stop and survey the area we drove thru. If you look closely to the left of the mesa edge (right side of photo) you can *barely* make out the San Francisco peaks north of flagstaff

The gang on the top of the world

from the left - Clint and Bo, Dan and Jeremiah, Tom (renstock) Caitlin and Mike L., Jeanette and Jim, Chris and Chris Jr, DynaTammy and DynaMike, Vern, Travis, Will and yours truly

Back at the pavement, a bunch of dusty Jeeps and drivers

Later on that night was the chili social and it was delicious! Again, thanks to everyone who came out and for those who couldn't make it, mark yer calendars for next year!

See you on the trail...

Here are just a few shots. Man what a great time. Tammy went above and beyond on all the cool things for this event. If you guys missed it this year then you need to be sure to make plans for 07... I am sure there will be a few more tricks by then as well. Thanks to Mike and Tammy for getting this together and all the AZ crew as well. Will...Great job on the trail leader tasks. Later...Clint

P.S. Clint and Will: If you need anything while in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area don't hesitate to ask.

Cool pics. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

Oh yeah, it was a total blast. You HAVE to get up there next year. Here is an overview of the trail from Google Earth:

total off-road mileage was about 29 miles. Took about 8 1/2 hours with lunch stop and time out to play and explore.

Man, I am really sorry we missed this. And it was only a half an hour from home. Hopefully we can make it next year. Kevin and Clint, thanks for the report and pictures.

Hey Gang,

It was truely a pleasure spending the day with all of you, I had a great time on the trail as well as the chili feast that evening. I am glad that everyone enjoyed themselves and I will anxiously await the for the next outing.

A big thanks to Mike, Tammy, and Skube for making this happen and all of the extra work that Tammy put into the "little things" sure made it even that much more entertaining. A BIG thanks as well to all of you that took time out of your schedules to make the trip up here. We will try to plan a trip over to the "Cracks" and try to give any of you that want to join us enough lead time to plan accordingly.

Cheers...... here is to future trips.

Great pictures guys. Ninja Will I like your military green and star on your jeep reminds me of my 65 CJ5 painted the same with stars on the hood and both sides.

Hey Thanks, I appreciate that. I really like it and every time I think I am done doing something to it I find something else. I guess that's the "Jeep Thing" right. It attracts alot of attention and you wouldn't believe how many old guys try to convince me they drove one like that in the war and are shocked when I tell them it is an '88' Wrangler. Again Glad you like, do you still have yours?

Heck, all they have to do is look at the headlights to know its a YJ

Regardless of that it still looks way cool!

Thx for taking all those pics so that we can live vicariously thru them. Looks like it was a great time. Hope I can make it next year. Who's driving that old gnarly CJ5?

Tahts Wills' friend Travis. He had some mighty big meats on that Jeep

I sold it about 7 years ago needed some extra mola for my kids college.
I remember taking a friend to Ford Island here in Pear Harbor to check out the old runway and to see where the USS Utah sank has I was going thru the gate the security guard Navy MP gave me a salute. Man that was cool.

Does that one guy always dress like that? Or is he just being funny?

Where is your libby Clint?
