The weather was REALLY hot but we braved the temperatures for some good wheeling. The trails were wet enough to keep things interesting. Photos from this event and a bunch of others will be up later today. Damage report: Dan Brown's 258 developed a mysterious, intermittent, seemingly heat-related electrical issue early in the going on Saturday. Matt Brown broke a front axle u-joint, as usual (yeah Matt, I said AS USUAL
). I think I took the prize for the weekend though with a crazy wheelie going up Widowmaker Hill that resulted in a broken front axle u-joint and a slipping transmission. By the time I made it back to the house I had no working forward gears, and had to winch it onto the trailer. Thanks to everyone who helped with that. Oddly, "Drive" was working again when I unloaded it from the trailer today, so it's probably something heat-related.Saturday evening we roasted hot dogs and watched a killer fireworks show in the driveway that was loud enough to wake the dead, then watched a couple movies inside after we got sick of the heat and the bugs. It did rain pretty hard overnight but even the tent-campers stayed relatively dry. Well, except for Matt, who wanted to see how much water the bowed roof of his tent could hold. (answer: it holds plenty until it caves in on you.)
When we left this morning there was some debate over whether people were going back out today for more wheeling... what did you guys end up doing?
Once again thanks to Steve and also for Sally's usual food preparation... Carrie and I had a blast.
