Had a great time today at the April Fools Run. Thanks Ernie/Bass4Runner for putting the run together & for all the folks who came to wheel.

We has a total of 15 rigs (4 Jeeps, 1 Monster 4Runner, 2 Frontiers, 1 K10 Chevy & 7 Xterras). The sky showered us with rain most of the day making the trails muddy, the puddles deep, the hills & ledges very slippery. Everyone did great, picked good lines & didn't incur any major damage.

Two new trails were also featured today in addition to our regular ones at Gremlin. First one was the alternate entrance/exit from the gate to the landing. The second one, a loop near Diaper Hill on the other side of the 'Mass Pike'.
I didn't take many pics, here are the few. Please feel free to post your pics/videos from the run.

Catch you at the next one!

Here's Ernie going up Sidewinder. The video does not do justice to how steep this really is.


And Ernie again, this time going up the hill in reverse!!

Great Pics. :woohoo:
Lots of water and the hills were very slick only a couple of us did pine hill and diaper
the rest turned back they were just too soft and greasy.
the ledges were slick and challenging a few of us took them on just the same.
no damage to report other than Chaz saying something about his diff leaking

Don't forget the Awesome full size Chevy
that did great out there even with the tight trails.
props. to you :thumbup:
.
Great fun thanks Suresh
I Hadn't got my full dose of Crazy in for the day :thumbup:

What a great time on a wet and dreary day. Definitely better than riding the recliner in front of the idiot box! Thank you Ernie, for putting this together, we almost got as many Xs as everything else. Suresh would you please send me the full size / resolution picture of my X coming out of the water, I love the way the water is streaming off the skid plate - scottfarris@cox.net

Mat, along with sliders think Heavy Duty Diff Cover or Shrock Guard, it isn't only only Wranglers that peel their covers.

Great pics and video, Suresh :D . I think I remember you taking a video of me fording one of those deep puddles. If so, can you send me a copy and possibly any pics of my X from the trail? Thanks again for everything; Saturday was awesome!

Awesome pics guys. All that snow makes it look like it was the Northern exposure run instead of the April Fools run.

And that puddle was deep? What trail is that that on? Hope the rig was ok.
