Hey Gang,
The first-ever Hummer-run went off quite well. I'm sorry to report that many members could not make it on account of the holidays, sickness or just being out of town...BUT they all called me and expressed interest in our next event, which should be in about 2-3 weeks!
We had a total of 5 Hummers, 3 H2's and 2 H1's...all experienced drivers looking for some serious action. The location proved to be exceptionally beautiful, but due to the fierce capability of the Hummers...not much of a challenge. It also didn't help that the park services cleared fallen trees and large debris from the road...talk about zapping our fun!
We still got out and made the most of it! Turns out the worst day offroading beats the best day working! (borrowed from a fishing saying).
Let's get to the pics!

A small rockslide...H2 tackles it. It's no biggy...but if you slip off the side...you only fall about 1,000 feet! (death-therapy sucks!)

Franco pulling up the rear in his mighty H1...always good to know he's pulling up the rear! Actually...he was one of the two who had the CB radio. Very cool guy!

There ya go....beatiful scenary and a great way to spend some time with friends...but not the most challenging of areas. We had a few mudholes, some loose stuff and even a rut or two. We all agreed that a BMW or Mercedes SUV would certainly had trouble...but this trail was no match for anything with the Hummer name on it!
Our next outting is going to be in 2-3 weeks, on either Saturday or Sunday. Local Humbudz: let me know which date is best for you, I will try to optimize attendence.
We will be hitting the San Bernardino Mountains, starting from Lake Silverwood and heading upto Arrowhead: experience required. Distance from L.A. is about 1.7 hours, should be beautiful AND challenging! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I notice that little Jeep Wrangler tagging along. Like that little kid who wants to hang with the big boys.
