February 2004 - BTG Log Corral Run - Page 2


At one point we got a ways ahead of the stockers.  Jay had stopped and turned around to check on there progress.  While driving back down the trail he managed to hit a large boulder, his rig came to an immediate stop and the force from the impact ripped the driver's side steering arm right out of the knuckle (as shown by the pictures Jay took above).   When the rest of the guys caught up with us they said Jay and Matt were heading back to the trailers to collect a spare knuckle and would head out after the repair.  We continued on with 8 rigs.

There were lots of new, deep ruts to avoid as we made our way to the top of the hill that overlooks Bartlett Lake.

The big Ford got caught in one of the 4 foot deep ruts in this narrow section.

It took some digging and 3 winches to get it to budge!

We arrived down by the lake later than we had hoped.  Here's the tent city going up.

I stitched together this panoramic shot which shows the campground and some of the rock formations nearby.  later in the year this would typically be underwater.
