We (my wife and I) took about 1551 photos. Going to take me awhile to select the best and upload.
Tomorrow is Top of the World, with even more people here now. We had 9 total for the Trifecta. Even if we didn't ultimately all get across, everyone pushed their Power Wagons to the limit of their capabilities. And everyone is having a great time.

Let me know what your thoughts are about the decent from Top of the world, assuming you are going "counter clockwise" on the loop part of the trail

It's going in the truck buddy!
Wait... I'll trade you with money on top for a pair of NASA-spec high-speed secret lights
And I forgot about this. I'll be back in town tomorrow. Now that I have only 3rd gear left, I'll be heading down in another truck...

Hey guys, we had a great time out there even though our trip was so short! It was nice meeting everyone briefly, we hit the road Friday night at 9pm and arrived in town just in time to catch the group Saturday morning to the trail. Huge thanks to everyone for the help spotting, it was awesome to see all the wagons making the trail look so easy. After steel bender we headed out to see picture frame arch which was really cool, until we got caught in a nasty lightning storm, lots of strikes 40-50' from the truck. Back to camp and had dinner, tried to stay up to catch the guys when they came back from town but I was beat so we called it a night.
I had my heart set on running Top of the World so we decided to pack up camp early and hit the trail, then drive home immediately after. Lots of seat time for us in the truck, but it was an adventure! Natasha and I have some pictures to sift through, I'll post them up later. Here's a few for now.
Really looking forward to next year, we WILL make it for more than a day and a half lol!

This was an amazing adventure. A complete noob at this type of 4x4, Rock crawling trails. Absolutely no way I would have attempted this alone!
I am grateful to have been a part of this group. This is a great group of folks, who have experience, are willing to share their experiences, support, guidance, and friendship. Super people!
However, I am still a little confused as to when to use the lockers!

I know I needed lockers and 4 low to get up my driveway a couple of days ago. I even thought about using my winch at one point....
Yeah, I smoked 'em, sometimes you just gotta #sendit

Bah-ha-ha!!!
If you turn the locker knob while you're in 2wd and just let it blink, it adds at least 100 horsepower.
Hope to see you again next year!

Do I get that hp when it blinks even if I haven't turned the knob?

I think we will have to have "Do I need lockers for this?" on our shirts next year.

The winch was only used twice...on the same truck
