Rattlesnake revealed

[Steve R]

Jason...

I know what happened. When we hit that black-diamond trail I had blasted past the entrance....so I ended up running the rear sweep. Without being in front, the photographic effort drizzled to pathetic.

Seems like I just can't win unless I lead the group AND have someone else to pull my rig up so that I can be freed to shoot pics. And then I still need another person to spot so I don't have to.

Thanks for the compliments on my getting through that stuff. With the low clearance of the H2....you really have to play those rocks/ruts JJJJUUUSSSSTTTTTT right, or else you pay the price with those ugly noises & frame carnage.

At one point my spotter put me into a huge rut and I wasn't quite expecting the strong roll to the side....that was scary!!!!!! Frank saw it from behind and was freakin' a bit too....he claims my left rear wheel was easily 3.5' up OFF the ground. Wish I had a pic of that!
