It was fun, I didn't go to all the runs, I took a day off in Durango and another in Moab.
Did Grim Reaper and Secret in New Mexico, and a few mountain trails in Ouray/Silverton area. In Moab I drove Golden Spike/Bar/Poison Spider mesa, then took it easy after that with a few scenic trails with small groups [4 trucks and 2 trucks], Klondike Bluffs and the Arches park and the Potash Road to Shafer Trail, then ran to Vegas to catch the Barrett Jackson auction.
Nice to meet a few AM General folks, who showed us pictures of the HUMVEE C series and answered [and not answer] a number of questions. Mike and Crew were busy working on H1's day in and day out, a lot more breakdowns than normal, some folks had breakdowns every day. One owner blew his 4L80E and was in the shop most of the run, he got trail time in with other owners and with us.
There was 30+ H1's, one HMMWV and 1 or 2 H3's and a H2.
I did ok, no breakdowns or damage, just a oil leak from a valve cover, nothing major. Almost lost my camera bag with $6,000 worth of gear on Klondike Bluff, left it on the truck while loading and it bounced off.
Fortunately a friend recorded video of us running obstacles, and we narrowed down the search to 1 mile on the 50 miles we ran, so 2 hours later we found my equipment unharmed about 30 feet from where we had lunch. That would have been an expensive trip, I normally carry camera insurance when I haul out the pro equipment, but this time I would have had to run it through my homeowners policy if I couldn't' find the equipment.
Now I'm getting an orange/yellow pelican case for the equipment instead of a black bag...
I'll post pictures in trail reports when I sort through them later this week.
only if I don't need lockers
