Avid readers should recognize this trail, it is one I have not run since around 2002.  Every time the club has run Asylum since I have been in build mode and missed the trip including the trip a few club members made last weekend. Here's some pictures taken by Jack from their trip last weekend.

Scott actually nearly climbed the big waterfall unassisted!

The last time I had run this one I had 35's, leaf springs all around and a 90 inch wheelbase so I was real interested to see how the new rig would do. I found only one spot that I couldn't crawl.  This one had me climbing with the front and rear tires at the same time.  I think a little more of a bump would have done it but with only 3 rigs along and it being late in the day I decided to just winch it.

Pat's new setup was looking good although he has to learn how to drive again with the new wider axles.

Jay sent me this picture, I was happy to easily climb the fall right before the big one, something my old rig could have never done.

The sun dropped fast so we didn't shoot any video of the big fall and I only got a few blurry pictures. I miss my old Nikon camera as it took really good night stills.
