Hey Bebe.. no way I didnt know u were up there.. next time we'll coordinate ;). I ran Flowery Peak on Sunday.. that was awsome.. Didnt get a chance to hit Nixon Trail.. but I hear Flowery Peak was much more intense compared to Nixon..

Thanks everyone.. it was fun.. I must say the best investment I made was installing the UCP and Rock rails the week before.. those are a MUST for some of these trails.. I know I dragged a few boulders under there :D .

I could not agree more. I had them shipped to the hotel when we went to Tellico and am so happy I decided to go ahead and get them. At first I was going to hold off until I saw how much I enjoyed it but I know I had a much better time just knowing they were down there. Gave me the confidence to just go for it.

Yup, those are the first things I put on. Unfortunately I could have used some shock mount skids too. :eek: :mad:

LOL.. that was some slide down that one hill on Flowery :eek:..... My plate was not as bad as some I saw.. mine was just bent.. they really need to relocate that plate... its way too low and gets caught. When all the H3 went to the training course that friday.. every H3 got their plates bent through the first test..

Nice pics! Nixon was a bummer. There was a gal with us that was low on fuel, so we pretty much screwed around, skipped all the fun stuff, and left. Bebe and I had to go find a "short cut" back to town. That was definitely the best part!:D

Anyone going to the Hummer Homecoming in June?:)
