Default Re: Goin to the hammers!! All pro run

Reviewing the final Aftershock obstacle before the run.



Mike contemplating the last obstacle...



It's a long, rocky road!





Hmmm...are you sure this is a good idea?





First obstacle - the waterfall. This is where the first carnage occurred...Paul had to back his brand new '09 Taco with about 10,000 miles on it all the way back to camp (about 10 miles?)! He kept a great attitude about it though and just parked the truck and hung with us most of the rest of the day.



Ozzie the trail dog watching all the action.



Lining 'em up.



No problem for Pepe's truck!



And Wyatt took the alternate line.

Successful 1st obstacle in The Pig!





It was a rocky trail...



A little recovery action...



Once again, Wyatt takes the alternate route. Notice Ozzie the trail pup sleeping under the rock...oblivious to what's right above him.







Brent takes the hard line in the All-Pro FJ too...





Heading up what ended up being the last obstacle of the day. Only John's (All-Pro) FJ-40 was able to make it up the final obstacle of Aftershock, and it was so gnarled up that other trucks couldn't even get winched up! Mike has video of this section.

Headed back down...



John came back around the front of the trail to lead everyone back out. That FJ-40 was awesome! I think it's actually part mountain goat.



Pepe taking the alternate route.



Mike's rock lights made it a lot easier to spot him down the trail!









Oh-dark-thirty!



The rattlesnakes were starting to come out by the time we were done! It was a baby, but I guess those are the most dangerous.



After that, we headed back to camp and John and his family made some awesome burgers and everyone kicked back and shared their stories! Good friends, good times!

Thanks to All-Pro, John and his family for putting an awesome trail run weekend together!

Nice report! So did anyone exit Aftershock besides Jon? Did Jon take the line to the left? :D
