6th Annual DeSoto Mine Trail Ride

[crawler#976]

Great group!

We had 11 rigs total, and a good mix to boot! 3 Jeeps, a Pinz 710, a 69 Bronco, and the rest were mixed Toyota's.

I forgot my camera...

...so I'll have to wait for other pic's of the event.

No breakage, no major damage. I did manage to ding up a slider hard enough to bend the rocker - guess I'm still learning how to wheel 32" tires vs. 35"s

Thanks to a the Expo participants for coming up!

I barely remembered to take ANY pics...

I snapped one when we started...when do we get to see the main camera guy's pics?

All of the trucks were tipping in opposite directions...

...when do we get to see the main camera guy's pics?

...when and if they get published in the magazine!

Hey guys, it was great to meet all of you.

Here's what I have for pics from throughout the day. Sorry there's a lot more of me than the others, my camera woman seemed to be more worried about damage to the truck and watching what I was doing. Ignore the funky music, my choices were limited and it was better than listening to silence for 10 minutes.

AWw...I was hoping to see pics of my truck on the crazy hillclimb, but I was the only truck not pictured... (cries)

 

[fabjunkie]

Hopefully someone got you coming up it. I should have been paying attention. I heard you, turned around, and your front tires were airborn coming over the ledge. Nice rig.

Cool to see the Pinz out there! :jumping:

Reviving this thread since I just happened to see the new issue of 4 Wheel Drive and Sport Utility magazine (April '10 issue) tonight and there was an article on this trip in it - 2+ years after it happened!

I had asked the author, Jay Kopycinski, about it a year or more ago and he told me the magazine had lost his original submission so he re-submitted it. Amazing how long it takes to get things published sometimes.

Is that Sonoran Steve I see in front of the SAC Taco?

 

[crawler#976]

I suspect it is! Steve has been a regular on the DeSoto run.
