Flag Pole Trip - September 2016

[Senor_Taylor]

The trip was a rousing success! We had a ton of members turn out and filled up most every vehicle. We were gone for about 7 hours and hit some of the challenging parts of the trails. I have about 4 good hours of footage and my computer tries to explode whenever I try to edit it, so it's slow going, but Caroline took some fantastic photos. Colton and I had a great time teaching and spotting all of the first timers and we were pleasantly surprised by how well some people did. We even had an Explorer running on probably 5/8 cylinders make it all of the way through. This will be a good year for MM offroading! The trip was pretty uneventful for me since I'm lifted and locked, but my cockiness got the best of me today when I discovered that quite possibly, a pulley has decided to eat itself. My guess is the 10 feet of mud my engine was under all day.

The coolest part is how we had an entirely different set of MM'ers all hanging together. The "usual" crew was not what we had. It's nice to change things up and have new people mingle and participate. This will be a good year.
