  1. Dylan and Andy and others were meeting tonight if you can make it

    So shop night is on Thursdays now? I just ran into Mosiah at Wal-Mart and he filled me in.

    Unfortunatly, I'm at work 7 days a week now (on top of going to school) until my blackjack training is finished. Then I will have more time for shop night and subaru's and whatnot since I will be working part time. :banana:

    Can't wait to get back into the subie...

  2. So I found my camera, and there were some pics of shop night before the Walker valley trip:

    Notice: Larger tire going on (Scott's side) Smaller tire coming off (My side)

    We had to beat the fenders out a bit so the wheels didn't rub.

    This picture is cool because you see exactly what the front of my car looked like before the trip.

  3. This seems like it is getting a little out of hand. I have never been to Walker before this trip, but Scott said it looked different than last time he went. I'm sure with all the rain the trail has eroded and exposed more of the rock face. We watched SEVERAL vehicles that were 100 times more equipped than our subies fail while trying to go up this. Even with a transfer case, there would be no way for a subie to get up that part without a winch.

    We didn't make the bypass, it was already there. And from what I understand, it was there last time they went too. It was also still very challenging. I had to get pulled up it after several failed attempts, and it took Scott several tries to make it to the top. Even next time we go, I'll still use the bypass. I have no desire to even attempt the other way.

     

    the whole point is to use the trail. it's supposed to be a difficult run. not easy, with a difficult option. winch, crawl it, high speed rockcrawling whatever it takes to make it... if you run the expressway, your looking for the adventure, and difficulty not a bypass. same thing with the rock garden at reiter... if your on that trail, it's to do the trail, not say you did the trail yet you bypassed the whole reason it's considered difficult...
