Breaking in Pam's ZJ on Bill Moore August 6th. Might bomb over to Spring Creek afterwards too if we finish BML in time and I have my ZJ. I still have to fix all the stuff I broke on Double Whammy to get mine going, but I'll have Cherry Hunter at my disposal if I need it too.
Probably meet at the BK in Downieville around 930AM?
If I get my Jeep fixed tomorrow, I am there!
I should have the WJ up and running by then. Sounds like fun!
Need to hit Holy Cross later in August as well.
Fixed the ZJ on the trail yesterday so I'm down.
John, look at the Holy Cross camping trip thread. It is the last weekend in August, you should come run it then! Even if you don't camp and pay the club to get the raffle tickets and meals you can still come run the trail with us, it should be a good time, there are 2 groups going. let me know if you want to go.
Mike, glad you got the ZJ back together. Sheared bolts? Weird.
Yeah, I might be up for that Holy Cross trip, but I'd have to sleep in the Jeep or on the roof, no camping gear. Maybe stay in Glenwood Springs.
Pam's ZJ is ready to go, and mine should be once I'm done wrenching all day Wednesday and Thursday.
So SC should definitely be an option since we should all be able to breeze right through BML. I'm thinking it may not be a bad idea to get a little earlier start though since we're gonna try to knock out two trails in one day.
Meet at 8:30 at the BK for a 9AM departure???
That works fine for me. I think the two trails is a good idea. We should head down Red Elephant Hill from the top of Bill Moore since that comes out right across the road from Spring Creek. If you need some help with the Jeep let me know, I'm pretty much free for the most part of this week.
John, I have 3 tents so you can always use one if you wanted. We have one that practically has 3 rooms (the one I'm bringing) and then two other tents so that's always an option.
I've never gone down Red Elephant, so I wouldn't be up for leading that, but if you want to lead that section you're more than welcome.Originally Posted by zjmike4
I'll be working on the ZJ Wednesday and maybe Thursday. Need to replace both front UCA's, replace left rear axle shaft, re-weld and reinforce left rear UCA bracket, fabricate an exhaust mount, and go over my steering box with a fine tooth comb. Should be fun! I've got one guy coming to help already, but you're welcome to come down if you want. We'll be wrenching at my place down in Castle Rock.
I can lead Red Elephant, I ran it and led John and Scott down it once before.
I have stock UCAs if thats what you are using, you can have them if you want. Drop me a PM w/ directions and your number and I'll see if I can make it.
Well we ended up softly breaking Pam's ZJ in tonight. Got a call from buddy who blew his clutch linkage out on Dakan so we took both ZJ's up to rescue him. Nothing like a night run!!
We'll probably get started around 10 or 11.

Red Elephant once is enough for me.
Not a hard trail, very scenic, but the Aspens are so close together for a major part of it, that we had to tip-toe between them. Several times I had to 3-point turn between them to keep from hitting them.
Hey guys I am looking for something to go to this coming weekend. BIGDAVE can you email me and let me know more about where this is exactly and how many rigs you think can make it out?

Thanks!
email sent!
Doesn't matter to me if we do red elephant, I don't think its the greatest trail either, I just thought it might save a little highway time, but if not thats cool.
You guys can do it. I will can wait at the bottom. It took a while wiggling through all the Aspens. I had to take my rear CB antenna off, turn in both mirrors and still had to go slow to avoid the trees.
Let's do Winch Hill on Spring Creek!
Hmmmmm, I like that that nasty sheet metal eating tree root.
It's good to have two lockers and crawl right by it!
Since we're trying to do two trails in one day, and it sounds like pretty slow going, let's just skip Red Elephant. Most of Bill Moore is baja'able anyways!!
Sounds good to me!
Hey Dave, what are the chances of my ZJ making it up SC in one piece? Nothing has changed on it since GSW...
If the odds are against me, I still may come up to run BML.
Hopefully the odds are very good cuz Pam's ZJ will be with us! I think you'll be fine.
Lets get the time strait. Colorado 4x4 says 8:30 & at the top of this thread it says 9:30. It's " 8:30" right?
I think it's 8:30.

It is 8:30. A few posts later after I decided to run Spring Creek too I changed it to 8:30.
I looked for it but did not find it. I sent this thread to Al since he wanted to wheel last week & didn't get to. Last e-mail I got from him he say maybe this week.
So it looks like I'm going to have to skip out on this one...just got two VIP tickets to the International tomorrow through work.
Sucks though, I've been wanting to run this trail for a while now.
