Where to begin..... 2 weeks ago I had the pleasure of going to the Cantina and had a chance to show off the new Hellfire fab FJ80 knuckles to Marlin

And then this past weekend was the Round up. I got packed up and headed out thursday afternoon. Got to the Spillway at about 230 and since I was ahead of my group I was going to tag along with a group that was going to be heading out shortly. Turns out that 1 of the rigs had a bad set of wheel bearings so I descided to head into Ellis on my own.

Woke up the next morning to find that my group arrived and set up camp in the middle of the night. We set out around 10am and headed to the springs.
Had fun playing at Soup bowl

Ate lunch at the Box and kept on trucking. Had the occasional slow down waiting on traffic in various places.
Made it to big sluce by about 330

About 3/4 the way down I broke the inputs shaft on my steering box. As luck would have it someone had a spare box about 8 rigs up the hill. I immediately started to swap out my box for the new 1 which was recently rebuilt and tapped for hydro. I don't know his board name, but I am pretty sure his name was Craig

I made it into camp about 2.5hrs later Tired, soar, and hungry. I relaxed Saturday and enjoyed a very scenic helicopter ride along the trail. Enjoyed great food, great company, and a huge bon fire! Woke up sunday and headed up and out Cadillac hill.
The Goldenstate Motorsports Crew and I had a great time and cant wait to come back next year!
