Hummer X Club @ DEVIL'S DEN
April 30, 2005
|
Thirteen vehicles (2 H1's, 4 H2's, 4 Jeeps, 2 pickups and a Toureg) ventured off road for a great day of wheelin'.
Tim's Rock was conquered by an H2, the newly landscaped Launch Pad was successfully tackled by H1's, H2's and Jeeps, the Rock Garden saw some H1, H2 and Jeep action, and a great time was had by all. The day finished at Picture Rock at 3:00pm, although we had lost a few vehicles by that time. |

The first obstacle of the day was Tim's Rock. After two Jeep's successfully tackled it, although one needed a little help from a winch, an H2 (albeit a lifted one with front locker) made it up. No H1 has made it up Tim's Rock yet and that will certainly be a goal for coming trips, along with getting a stock H2 up it.
The floods last year re-shaped the Launch Pad, the approach to it is now harder than the obstacle itself. But several H2's and both H1's successfully made it up, as well as two of the Jeeps. The route we take through the Rock Garden now seems easy, and a more demanding route will be required for future trips. |

All the other usual obstacles, like the Waterfall and Picture Rock were tackled easily by everyone. Seven people made dinner on Saturday night and picked up some door prizes, straps, shackles, tilt-meters, etc, donated by Trail Duty Many thanks also to Ken Batchelor Hummer for the desserts at Ruth's Chris. A big thanks to everyone that came out and made this a great and enjoyable day of wheelin'. Special thanks to Seth for his work in keeping everything moving and to Bill for his spotting and been a great trail guide.
