February 2004 - BTG Log Corral Run Trail Rating - 3.5 Photos submitted by Chris Villarreal This was the 3rd annual BTG Log Corral Run. My rig wasn't ready for last years run so I missed out, but not this year. The run consists of a run thru the Log Corral Trail to the backside of Bartlett Lake. After setting up camp on the lake shore we would hit the exposed rocks for some before dinner fun and then enjoy dinner and a campfire before retiring for the night. The plan the next morning was to pack up and head out after breakfast. Seems easy enough.

We had a lot fewer rigs this year compared to last year. We were missing a few BTG rigs due to ongoing repairs but still had 5 in attendance along with 5 street driven 4x4s.
The previous months rains really rearranged the trail making it a bit more difficult for the street driven 4x4's. We'll probably require at least one locker for next years run to save some time.
This is the one rough section of the trail and the buggies made short work of it.
First casualty of the day, a tire bead.
Steve's 4 Runner had dual ARB's and t-cases which made the first part easy.
Without a locker you are forced to use momentum to get over some of the obstacles. We soon discovered momentum and stock axle parts leads to breakage.
We pulled the Ford Ranger forward to a spot we could turn it around and got some of the other rigs thru.
Then it was Matt to the rescue, he was at the tail end, arriving a little after we pulled out of the meeting spot. With gravity helping us we got the disabled 4x4 back to the start of the rocky part leaving 10 rigs to continue on. |
