[Zach]

we normally do trails with bypasses and then you can have fun watching the others get carnage

That's the whole reason i go to Hungry Valley. To watch Chris try the sluice box:HA:

I can believe that. I just like the tough lines. I almost always would rather take the tough line and get stuck instead of taking the easy line.

And its also fun to watch Chris on youtube trying the Sluice

its better in person...If only you saw my face when the entire front bumper was ripped off from a rock.

 

[3Hummers]

It snapped right back in.

 

[06 H3]

That really surprised me! I cant believe how much abuse it has taken. It got a nasty hit on john bull too but that bumper just keeps on going.

 

[poncho1965]

I think I can make this, put me on the list! Looks like fun

Im hoping by november I will have MT/R's and a 4:1 case. If Dwaine attends in his scorpion I will try the extension...worse case scenario he drags my sorry as out

Putting in the Time off request today. How much time do you think I need off? Friday, Saturday and Sunday?

My work is sending me to Las Vegas for a conference next week. I'm thinking I could drive to Laughlin NV on Saturday and do a pre-run of the Sleeping Princess trail Sunday morning (before it gets too hot). The weather on Sunday is supposed to be clear with a low of 84F and a high of 109F. I'm thinking of starting early Sunday morning and walking the extension as soon as I get to it. Then I'll run up to the top of the trail with the AC on and back down. Hopefully there won’t be too much spotting. Anybody care to join me on a pre-run?

 

[Kurt]

At this time I'm in.

At this time I'm in.

For the pre-run on Sunday or the run in November?

 

[Portager]

I went in to pick up my truck yesterday, but the transfer case failed the test drove. It is back in the shop waiting for a thrust washer. The ETA if Friday.

My work has not signed off on the trip to Las Vegas yet. I should get the final word today because tomorrow is an off day.

If my truck isn't fixed or if the Las Vegas trip is cancelled I'll have to cancel the pre-run.

 

[Kurt]

Just the main trip, not the pre run.

 

[Portager]

I got the truck back from Tustin Hummer and the 4 wheel low works great. They had to replace the high/low carrier. However, my work cancelled my trip to Las Vegas for the pre-run is postponed. I hope to do a pre-run before the trip in November, but I not going to make a special trip and do it in 109F heat.

Ellen will most likely be staying in Laughlin while we do the trails. I am sure she would love some company if your spouse, family member or other would like to hang back.

 

[poncho1965]

It's early yet, but where does everyone like to stay?

 

[3Hummers]

Looking forward to this run.

 

[Portager]

Haven't stated looking for hotels yet. I'll look into the options.

Currently, Colleen is planning to come along but I think she will be staying in Laughlin on Saturday (at the pool most likely she doesn't gamble and she doesn't shop). I'm thinking of touring some old mines on Sunday morning and driving home Sunday afternoon.

My wife has not made the reservations yets but I believe she is targeting the Riverside. I have stayed there and Harrah's several times. I don't recall what the parking height is at either one. My truck is sitting significantly higher now and may not fit in structures.

 

[poncho1965]

Ok so it's Laughlin and not Bullhead City.....Looking at the extension videos, anyone going to be doing these? This is going to be fun

 

[Zach]

Bullhead is right across the river from Laughlin

 

[poncho1965]

Has anyone stayed at Avi?

 

[3Hummers]

We used to stay at the Avi before we ran the Mojave Trail. You jump on the trail not far from there. There are nicer hotels but the Avi is inexpensive.

 

[LagunaH1]

I've stayed at the Avi once. It's a casino so they allow smoking indoors and so everything smells like smoke. It's not a great hotel but it's convenient and it gets the job done.

I'm smoke intolerant due to my sinuses, so I may just stay in Bullhead City where the smoking zone is across the border.
