Area BFE - Greenday - 1/18/08

[PJTPW]

Jeff, Jim, and I went out and ran Greenday today. I only got a few pics.

We've been wheeling the last several days showing some people we met after the 50K the trails, all who are from Australia. They compete in WE Rock Australia, and WE Rock Worlds, and the Australian Tuff Truck Competiton ( www.tufftruck.com.au/ ). They've been on a month long road trip and stopped in Moab for a few days.

Greenday was pretty uneventful until I rolled.

Buggy faired ok. No dented tubes, my roof now rattles less and is more contoured, my Howe reservoir is now 1/2 an inch shorter as is the corner of my radiator. ;D

I faired less well, hit my head on the cage (on the side of my head) got a concussion, and now am a bit out of it. But I have already replaced the radiator cap that was busted and with some additonal protection for the rad and res I am ready to go try it again. Especially since I turned over backing up at the very top to get a slightly a better line.







Thanks to Jeff and Jim for the winching and spare fluids. Guess I need to get a helmet.

There should be some more pics being e-mailed to me and I'll get them up as soon as possible.

OOPS! Sorry to hear about your head. Rig looked like it survived nicely. Can't wait to get down there this summer and do Green Day for the first time. I keep hearing about this trail, but haven't had a chance to run it yet.

Sorry to hear about that, so are you feeling ok now?

Was this the last obstacle going up the wash? I almost rolled going down that one, so I backed up and bypassed it.

It's the vertical climb on the left side of the trail near the end that is optional. I was backing up a bit and dumped it.
