Ukiah 2001
Rock Crawlin

Climbing the rock Thanx to my uncle Zig and his 40 acre playground for these awesome trails! On memorial weakend 2001 I along with lots of friends and family drove up to Ukiah CA for a weakend of fun. The pictures on this page were taken by Andy Dec with my camera, Thanx Andy!

Coming down The first obstacle I set out to play on was this bog old rock slab above camp.

This place is beautiful This place is beautiful, see the Oak trees in the back?

Another route over the rock I spent a few minutes here crawlin around on this rock.

Heres the approach This picture shows the approach from the tall grass onto the rock slab, I was able to drive out from camp on the trail and then through the grass to the rock no problem.

Down the hill we go Next we followed my uncle Zig down the trail to a great spot, check it out!

Yahoo! This was the coolest spot! There was a trail carved by the water (it was dry) that was barely twice the width of my truck. The bottom was lined with loose river rock. Check out the rock overhang over Jr.

Coming through the rock gorge This spot was a rock gorge surrounding a great trail for my truck, it was too cool.

Coming through the rock gorge This was the way in from the trail, I would then turn around and go back through the opposite dirrection.

The next 8 pictures are a stop motion progression of Jr driving out of the rock gorge.

Bye Bye Jr.

The other side of the trail The creek on the other side of the trail was all big boulders, I was able to drive up on this one for a picture!

My and my nephew Heres me and my nephew Austin on the trail just above the creek crossing, we headed up to the next obstacle.

Just above the creek Just up the trail about 75 feet there was this cool rock sticking out of the ground so I drove over to it and climbed it!

Right at the ridge Heres Jr at the ridge just about to cross over.

Close up of last picture This picture is another angle and zoom of the same position.

Down we go Heres Jr on the way down, the tall grass didnt even phase my truck on the approach and departure.

Run 2 Once again I started up this rock but in a steeper spot.

Over the first hump I cleared the hump and started up the rock face.

Heres Jr up top This face is pretty damn steep and those mashers grip great! The locked 4 wheel drive just pulls the truck up without hesitation.

This truck was built to climb! Another view of Jr on the steep rock face.

Rattlesnake rock On our way back up the hill we stopped for a pose shot on this rock and shortly after placing the truck on the rock I heard a loud rattle. Needless to say we all jumped back and I saw a 1-3/4" thick snake curling down into its den under the rock... Snake talk, me listen.

The dear trail The last bit of the hike I drove Jr up this dear trail near the creek, well above the previous creek obstacle. Once back at camp I set out to run down my batteries and still had 15 minutes left on the packs!
