Several folks from NC made the trek to Windrock this past weekend including @conFUcius, @Taznc, @foxswimmer, and several others. We met Friday morning at the General Store and wheeled most of the day and then wheeled again on Saturday. The weather was cool and foggy but the rain held off the entire time we were on the trail.
Friday was an interesting day. A JK in our group attempted a hill climb and 3 wheeled at the top. The angle caused him to dump oil into the engine and likely vapor locked it when he shut it down. After trying to restart it, he fried the starter. I ended up towing him back to the trail head where we waited for a trailer. He ended up finding a 24 hour off-road shop to diagnose and repair his Jeep.
He made it back on the trail by 11am on Saturday. We had another fun and mud filled day.
Saturday, I met a a guy at the General Store who said he was on the forum but I didn’t catch his name. He was with a friend in a 1500. We passed them on the trail and noticed the 1500 was missing one of his side steps. Hopefully, he will see this post and let us know how he and his friend faired.
I got to watch folks with little wheeling experience become more and more confident with each mile that passed.
Overall, it was a fun weekend with old friends and new.
