Idaho springs, co.

I was going to go even with wonky sliders but spent the night and most of sunday with a killer stomach ache.

We had a couple of Jack's friends in a Wrangler join us initially...but they had a rear disc brake seize, which overheated so much it melted the rear axle seal and proceeded to pour boiling diff fluid on to the brakes...making a LOT of smoke on I-70. So they were out before we got to the trail

Pic attached is of the pool of diff fluid after it had cooled down a little. Luckily they had AAA, so we hope they got towed home successfully. It was a shame they couldn't make it as they had been looking forward to it all week.

A short video of me coming up the first obstacle on Spring Creek....too bad it cuts off before I get all the way up (with Jack's expert spotting)...I never got stuck on the trail.

Here's Jack coming up the ledge in his 4Runner too (I was slightly annoyed by the people walking around and especially behind us with their dogs, as we were doing this...apparently physics was not something they were worried about)

I've got a Trooper skid you can have for a donation to the forum...it's powdercoated gloss black and has never been installed.
