We have the Triple Crown of flops poor Brian couldn't keep his sammi upright at all, hey that is thebeeter, since we were limping back we decided that once we got to Crowbar we would go down Ballerina Rock which is a feat just to get up, very few have actually driven up most have to winch and going down is just as tough. The plan was to winch each vehicle down which made me real uneasy. After watching two other rigs get winched down it was my turn, both of them looked really freaky going over the edge but they did make it down so now it was my turn I think it feels even worse in the cab it's like driving into the abyss you are starring into the sky and next thing you know you are starring straight down into the ground 15 feet up dangling by a string. The funny thing was is they said I was going sooooo slow that the winch was running faster than I was driving sure glad it didn't slip, could have snapped that line. In the last two shots you can barely see TurtleTruck driving over the edge with the thebeeter holding him with his winch in the backround.

I think in the end we all had fun or for some it may be later that they look fondly back at this run but man for full-bodied rigs and truggies it was one tough run.
