Well not to dissapoint but i hear that this trail will not offer too much in the way of testing our rigs. So you may not get to prove too much.

That's ok though, I don't need any more scraping after Moab! :)

Nice! But that 4th picture from the top still scares me (a giant bolder became dislodged and went tumbling for our VXes, luckily it only knicked the front of CrnCnn's cladding with no harm done, but my heart skipped a few beats as I watched that rock fall! Sorry Clint!)

OK, here are a few of mine, more can be seen on VX MADNESS!

I am ready when you guys are.

I really want a good digital camera so I dont have to wait, or pay.

I will be loking into a GPS and some software that you can plot you "waypoints." Whatever, I know nothing about GPS except that the people that I used to go to the sand dunes with in AZ had it and called it PMS cause it would always make them pissed off.

Anyway, my schedule will be changing soon so that I wont have sundays off. We will have to figure it out.

Yeah, I have a lot going on this summer, but we should take a day and do a lunch/VX meet/shooting event sometime soon.

I love my Garmin GPS, but it was a MAJOR pain in the @$$ to get working and it wasn't cheap. Go here to get a decent deal and all the info you ever wanted on GPS devices.

Cool. It would be nice to have a 4th VXer along with us. How long is the drive up to Sac from where you live? Its only about 2 hours over the hill to Reno from Sac.

I can usually make it about 8 hours with good traffic and a couple of pit stops.
I'm actually coming up this weekend but the VX is getting dropped off for a head-to-toe inspection(!), so I'll be in some kind of a rental.

Rental. Yuck. But it does make you appreciate the VX even more!

I am currently trying to scout out some trails here in the sierra nevadas that are not too difficult to do without a lift, and that are not gated. The trail I tried out last weekend was pretty good up to the point where I turned around, but due to lots of rocks in the middle of it, I don't know about clearance with stock VXs. I also found out that the trail turns into one of the most difficult runs of the Rubicon(Fordyce Jeep trail) a little down the road, so maybe not such a great idea. I'll keep you guys posted with what I find. We'll pretty much have to stick to the Nevada side too, because I can't bring my rifle to California(those pinko commies) without getting an instant felony. I think the same goes for you Bart. I think the deal is that you can't have a detachable magazine if I remember correctly.

Sounds good. We still have Clint's trail to do also. That one would be nice to do for a whole day trip were we can bring lunches, etc.

As for guns, I totally understand. I never bring anything over the border into Cali, and all of my rifles have detachable mags. :)

I only have a bolt action 30 odd 6 right now I left my pistol with my dad when I moved here. Guess now that im staying I will have to try to get it here.

Yeah, you need to! Nevada is a good state for gunners. I've never shot a 3.06.

Well then all the more reason to get out there. Cari actually wants to get a concealed weapon permit so I will be looking into that and new handguns this summer.

I have some contacts for a concealed weapons permit if you want CrnCnn. Just let me know. Also, shoot me a price on the roof rack that is sucking up dust in my shed if you still want it.
