Joint CA, AZ & NV Trail Run 11/3/12 - Sleeping Princess

[Sircode13]

Okay, well I'm in Vegas with full fuel tanks, and Roto/Packs full of diesel, gas and water. I got back from Front Sight from dropping off my paperwork for my FMK 9mm's. When I got back the Hummer was running hot. I started it up later and got a low coolant light. I need to talk to Mike at Tustin cause they just got through servicing all that, so I guess I'm out now. :banghead:

FYI I'm out this run, I forgot to mention that. Too much stuff going on..

 

[cbetts]

I am so bummed out that so many people couldn't make it. It is always the personalties that make these trips so fun.

Damn work has been crazy lately. I have deals in CA, TX, CO and looking at deals in several other places. The last few and next few weeks have just been crunch time. I really want to run this trail.

I know it cuts into fun time but its good that the business is busy.

Just got back to the hotel parking lot. Extremely fun trail

 

[3Hummers]

Waiting on the trail report and pictures. What is taking so long?

 

[poncho1965]

It was quiet the trail, had a great time and will be back to do it again

 

[Zach]

Going to dinner soon. Then doing a raffle for a great cause. Won't be able to post up my pics till I get home. Some very challenging sections on the trail

 

[poncho1965]

Will post pics also when we get home and a few vids. This is an awesome group!

How's the scorpion? Kicking ass? I wish I could see it and TRY to follow it

 

[MuDnYrI]

It is better that you didn't make the trip. I don't think your truck could handle it! :wink:

Too bad you didn't get to see the Scorpion! :mock:

:finger

 

[Fish]

Put me in the wish I coulda made it club. We need to do more runs like this. Maybe Arizona next time???

 

[3Hummers]

Wasn't this one in AZ?

The Scorpion did the Bob Miller extension and it was amazing. Nobody else even attempted it. Your attempt to follow it wouldn’t have ended good. Wait until you see the videos.

For you Fish, I'll move the Sleeping Princess trail into Arizona.

Most trails that you read about online end up over rated and a big disappointment. Sleeping Princess was quite challenging. It certainly wasn't over rated. It was a lot of fun, but there was one obstacle that wasn't very Hummer friendly. We stacked lots of rocks and several people got strapped. I got strapped and then winched.

Thanks Mike for setting this up. It was more than worth the drive to get here

 

[cbetts]

What an awesome run! I was sceptical about some areas but pressed myself beyond my comfort zone and enjoyed the challenges. I will have pics and vids posted later.

The scorpion is amazing and Dwayne is amazing. He saved my ass today spotting. Thanks again Dwayne. He ran part of the extension. I've got some great pics. As far as you following his lines, not going to happen. I follwed him most of the day. And his lines were too crazy and impossible for me. So that would make it a no go for you too

 

[Zach]

We also had a great raffle with a significant donation to a cause that needs it greatly. Thanks to everyone that donated. Awesome group we have. I will let Alex reveal the recipient of it

Seeing you we're pushed out of your comfort zone did Ellen walk the trail or hang at the hotel? Haha

Could an H1 have run the extension?

 

[Portager]

Could an H1 have run the extension?

Yes. I think you could do it. I think the toughest spot would be a steep descent with a sharp turn at the bottom and a rock in the middle. It looked narrow. Once you pass that there are a series of very challenging waterfall climbs. There is also a narrow section with a vertical wall on one side. The H1 would have to put the passenger wheels on the up slope, putting you off chamber and tilting the roof into the wall.
