We had a small group but it was a great day on the trail with some solid wheelin'. It was disappointing to see some of my favorite off-chutes closed, but everyone was still able to challenge themselves just enough.
Rick and Randy, it was great meeting you guys. Here are some pictures of the run and I will stand-by for Mr. BOD's official report.

Nice. I wish I had my rig running I would have joined you guys in a flash.
-
We missed you today Terry. It would've been great to have you.

Man Tom, you're posting pics already and I haven't even written my report yet. I got a beer meeting in 12 minutes. Full report when I'm buzzed. Randy out.
Hint: Tom and Ric are GREAT GUYS!
-
Nice report and pics...especially of Randy gettin' up on three wheels! :)

So, does this mean I can't post my pics? I'm already a few beers in... ;)
It was also very nice to meet you all. I would like to especially thank you both for respecting my relative inexperience with the truck, having the patience to provide a spot when I needed it, and pushing me a little to learn the capabilities of the truck. Tom, I'm glad you didn't post pics of the mess in my seat after the steps. ;D
edit: Tom, I hope you don't mind if I steal some of your pics.
Anyway, to the good stuff...
Made it look easy

Thanks for the great photos guys.
Like the boys already said: A good time was had by all.
It's so cool to see new blood stepping up and posting a run. This was a perfect example of what I'm seeing lately on our non-club site.
New guys getting involved and taking the bull by the horns, instead of commenting from the cheap seats. Speaking of El Toro, this was not the massive undertaking of a Mohave, cat-herding, three day event, but just a simple nice outing with someone willing to lead, and the responsibility that comes with it. I just realized that I've never posted a run. I will remedy that. But until then, I will do all that I can to support the 'Trail Masters' who do. Thanks to all of you. (Sh**, I'm kinda a mushy drunk) Enough of that!
Trail report: the powers that be, cabled off half a dozen 'blue' trails with seemingly no rhyme or reason. Yet three 'black' trails are still open to abuse your rig in a variety of ways. There were still plenty of trail options to have a great day, but for a real full day of wheeling we may want to add "Pilot Rock" to the mix.
I gonna keep drinking now 'til I'm funny again ???

Randy, It's easy to get home, have a beer, and post pictures when you live 20 minutes from the trail head. Hopefully I'm in town for the first trail run you post and I'm going to let you know when I hit Azusa Canyon for some mud.
Rick, it was great wheeling with you and helping you get further into it. It was fun to see the 4x4 bug get deeper into you throughout the day. Use all the pics you want.

Nice pictures guys. Wish I was in town for this.

MAN.............I wish I had gone......next time Fo'Sho! :P

Would love to meet more people. Though, I bet it's pretty nasty up there right now because of the rain.

I'm sure there are changes to the trail after these rains and more weather on the way.

I wish I could have made it, Cleghorn is fun!
