Badlands ORP: 24 - 25 May

​

So I finally made it out to Badlands. Went out there yesterday met up with Barry "Bear", and Brian "Brinner". Bear didn't stay too long, but Brian and I had pretty much a full day of trail riding. Badlands was pretty good. I wouldn't say it's the best place I've even been - but not even close the worst. I'm a sailor, so I can always find something to complain about - but I had a great time! ...mostly thanks to Brian (who knows the Badlands like the back of his hand)

Enough blabbing - on with the pics!

On the trail:

We didn't get the obligatory trademark Badlands shot of us dropping out of the tubes - mostly because my photographer (aka - wife) was crapping a brick. ...and it was such a hard drop, I didn't want to do it twice in one day!








...IS MY MIDDLE NAME!​

My only stuck of the day :

...all the stuff I've been through in my truck from mud to Moab-Rim, and THIS 1 LITTLE ROCK is what hangs me up!?!?!?

​

We tried bouncing the bed, we tried my fancy-schmancy Spotter Line, in the end I had to winch.

​

Apparently EVERYBODY gets stuck :

It's steeper than it looks...

As I said - a great trip to badlands. It was funny how similarly built and capable mine and Brian's rigs were. I don't think there's anything that my truck could do that his couldn't and vice versa. He and I had a great time on the trails, and Badlands is kind of a confusing place and I would have spent most of the day lost if not for him. Thanks again Brian - I look forward to wheeling with you again!
