We just threw this run together just for something to do.
We were going to explorer some more of the Ahtanum.
We decided to see if we could make it to Strobach
Mountain first before exploring places we had not been.
It turned out to be just an all day Strobach Mountain Run.

Waycrazy airing down because the rocky trail was shaking them up.

The first obstacle was a tree across the trail.
We saw where quads had gone around the tree so we went for it too.
We had to back into the down tree to make the corner. It was a tight fit.

I came close to puncturing my left front tire on a dead
tree root so Waycrazy pulled the tree out of the way.

Next was Waycrazy's turn.
He tried to fit going forward but he had to back into the down tree too.

Now forward though the tight hole.

Test Dummy's turn.

This was a nasty tree on this turn.

The other side of the down tree.

We started hitting patches of snow.
The father we went the deeper the snow was.
We came up to a long snow patch that was really deep.
I plowed though a ways until it was off camber and got stuck.
I buried the XJ pretty good. Waycrazy came in to pull my rig back.

Let the winching begin!
I had Test Dummy drive my rig back so I could take some pictures.

Waycrazy pulled my rig back where my front tires were
in the holes where the rear tires were.

I was able to get going forward again.
Waycrazy followed me through and then Test Dummy got
stuck in the same place I was stuck.

Waycrazy came back to pull the Test Rig out.

Test Dummy's rig didn't want to get back onto the trail
and had to be winched a ways. Right as the rig was
almost out, a tree got the rear window.

Test Dummy got a blanket and pushed the glass in so it
wouldn't fall out on the trail.

After that snow area we were good to go for awhile.
Here we go again, Deep snow!
Waycrazy lead the way through this patch until here.
It was Waycrazy’s turn to be pulled out.
Well a few times on the same snow mound.

Way Crazy was having too much fun!

He says he would let me try to go through.
It worked out with my wheel base longer than his I
didn't get stuck in his holes.

We were back on our way. We had a lot more snow we had to run through.
Test Dummy had to be winched up again.

Right after this point we had to turn around because of
another tree across the trail.

On the way back down I got stuck in that first snow
hole I had been winched out on the way up.
Waycrazy winched me out again and then we had him go
first so he could winch through and make new tracks.
So that is what had to happen. I followed Waycrazy through.
Test Dummy didn't make it.

Way Crazy winched Test Dummy's XJ back onto the trail.
We now were ready to head for home.
Waycrazy started having problems at this point.
It started with his winch stopped working, then his
alternator gave out and then he broke a rear u-joint.
He had to drive his CJ5 back to my place in front wheel drive.
The front dif is welded so it was hard to steer.
