These are from Pet Cemetery. Jack led a small group up this one while I worked to take care of a driveshaft clearance issue back at camp.
We eventually got everything squared away and drove down the trail to meet the group at the first fall. Apparently we just missed Matt going over backwards (déjà vu from 2 years ago).
Dave broke a hub down here and then after some motivation (I did the universal sign for chicken and Matt flashed the pink triangle sign) Graeme tried the spiral waterfall only to end up twisting the flanges on his front driveshaft at both ends
Lots of carnage this year. Off the top of my head there was a cut tire, two
high pinion gear sets (4.88 and 5.38 <- behind a 22re)), one drowned
opti-spark on Barry's motor, a Toy rear output shaft, Alloy USA stub, a few
link mount bolts, 4 grade 9 steering arm bolts, one bent air shock shaft and
Scott's air shock shaft pulled out twice. I am sure there was more that I am
missing. I do know Mike had another rig delivered after he disabled the one
he came with.
I know most of the breaks I saw were during technical crawling sessions. Most everyone avoided S&M due to sheets of ice present on the first fall. Scott, Barry and someone else managed to make the fall with a whole lot of flooring one evening and Jack did a Tom style roll off the fall after going from one end to the other at full bore......
I led a small group of six up PMF.
A few shots of some of the earlier obstacles, a mix of boulders, notches,
ledges and small waterfalls.
Can you make this trail? Honestly if you aren't up the first couple falls quickly with no problems it's going to be a long weekend. Also, any breaks will most likely need to be fixed on the trail. There are no go arounds or good spots to turn around once you get past nacho-bell-grande.
Scott broke a stub in nacho-bell-grande, the worst spot to break on this trail as there is no room to get the water filled tire off, much less pull out the broken axle. |
