Well we did it again! Back up to Crown King! There were 7 of us all together. Super glad to meet sirhK! Might recognize his nick from TT. This is a pic of the start of the trip



Some great riders along on this trip! This was the first time I've seen someone do 60 mph wheelies and turn the corner! That was so awesome! Well... until Jamie looped it! The road out to the trail was fast. We were usually 3-4 wide on the road just gett'n it. We took a break at the start of the trail.





The beginning of the trail moved along great. We got to the first major water crossing and it was way down from the earlier trip Johnny and I did. The group still didn't want to cross it and we went further up stream and crossed. Imaging this spot with barely and island in the middle!



The next time I got the camera out was to take a couple of pics of Craig and Bob coming up this nasty trail. Rocks, mud and trickling water. It's fun to watch people end up all over this hill!




During the last story I talked about the final show stopper that we came up too! This is it! The road is gone!



We all took a break here. The 4x4 crowd had came in here and cut a path up and through the woods around this spot.



It took us 1 hour 45 minutes to reach Crown King this time. Not like the 6 hours the last time. The 4x4 crowd had already carved new trails, pounded down the cliffs, and cut trees to make a go of it.

Once we got some food in us at Cyndi's Place in CK we headed up to Tower Mtn. We ran into quite a bit of snow at the higher elevations.



Little did we know that the previous storm had pushed a shitload of trees down. It took us about an hour to traverse this area. This is Johnny wondering what is taking everyone so long!!



Bob's chain had come off log jumping!



Finally made it back around to CK again. Warmed up in the bar and tossed a couple back before we headed home!

What a great trip! What a great group! Thank you everyone! Hope you all enjoyed the stories!

tired me
