Here are some pictures from our ride in Harlan on January 15, 2005. We had a great ride with fourty plus vehicles riding. We had three in the group that I was with break something. And we even got to see Joe use his winch to move his scout along once or twice!

The group begins to assemble at the first trail off of the main road.

We had a good number of vehicles show up for the ride. I think the total number was over 40 vehicles.

This waterfall is the first obstacle on this trail. I think the trail is called "rail bed" (see http://www.kymc.org/rail_bed.htm).

The waterfall can get a little steep.

The thing I hate about a digital camera is that it takes a second or two before it will take the picture. When I tried to take this shot, I had a great picture of the undercarage of Wayne's jeep. He stood up pretty straight, but did not hold the pose for long.

A few more assemble for the ride.

Yes, that's the trail.

On out the trail, ther are some more interesting parts.

Joe's scout stands up trying to get up this ledge.

It would not be a trail ride without someone breaking something. These guys are working to put the steering arm back into David's jeep.

Just finishing up and ready to go on up the trail.

David going up the same ledge that Joe did a few minuites earlier.

One nice thing about this area is that almost anything is fair game if you want to try it.

Back up the rock garden.

Here we sit at the top of this hill. You can see that we encountered some mud along the route.

But the view from up here is beautiful!

In all directions.

We had split up into multiple groups to keep the ride going. This group is going down one side of this mountain as we go down the other.

We meet up a another rock garden.

Joe gives it a run.

And the crowd watches for something to break (they did not see anything break).

Larry tries this rock garden also.

With Bill following close behind.

This is where Larry and Bill decided to exit the rock garden. The rock where Larry's front right tire is on proves to be a challenge.

That rock that Larry was on catches Bill and break's a driveshaft.

Here are some more pictures that Ernest took:

 

As always, the guys from the KYMC club were there and they will have some additional photos on their web site soon: http://www.kymc.org/.
