we ran golden spike backwards , started pritchett on tuesday  but one guy burned up his clutch on chewy hill so i started towing him back and just about went off the edge of the trail because it was really soft sand and just gave out from under the tire. i almost went over but luckily i was able to get completly sideways by doin a front dig and then went off the trail turned around and came back out then went to the top of the trail and winched the guy out
so we tried again Wednesday and made it thru although i had to get winched up rock pile , i tried the line to the far and just about had it but the lower links in the rear would catch near the top

Thursday we ran behind the rocks backwards and I made it up everything but broke the front truss/upper link bracket on high dive and didn't realize till i got to the top , so glad i was able to get to the top and it didn't completly rip off
here are some of the video's and when my wife gets the pictures done ill post those as well
Pritchett Canyon -
Rocker knocker
Both Bill and I putting the front digs to use


Behind the Rocks -
white knuckle hill

high dive - the front truss was broken goin up this and didn't realize till i got to the top

We attempted Pritchett on Tuesday but Jeff's clutch gave out so we didn't get to finish.  We went back out with Bill on Wednesday to run it, so these are pictures from both days.













Look close and you can see 2 different arches:

Looks like you guys had some fun,  Great pictures and that last one looks kinda like a tilt shift picture.  Very cool!
