nice day little rain cool breeze for tearing up woodpecker mine

this day was one of the best. it was so beutiful with the wind, rain, dust, and being able to drive my truck in it. the day all started when me kyle and my dad woke up, we had already loaded everything up the night befor so we could leave nice and peacefull in the morning. as driving down arizona farms rd i remebered how long that dang road is! we arrivede at gate 7 in about 30 minutes compared too the hour and a half for every one else. unloaded in a flash and waited to press on.. we all got to just fly down cottenwood canyon rd. although my truck is very fun to drive fast it breaks as you hit sand (but thats a whole different story). as we came to the trail head (despite a bunch of bickering atv riders) we got there fine. the trail started with t ledge that every one tried including reggie in the dodge and he was the first one too get damage (caved in his front bumper and knocked out a light). then about 2 hours later came lunch as we ate talked and me and kyle scrached the itch to run up the moutian and take a few pics and call home.right after lunch came a small ledge about 2 feet high not too step yet the sand at the bottom of it screwed with all of us. and this is where i got a first my first broken part wheeling, broke my front cv joint... so i had to bypass the rest of the trails opsticles and press on through the mine. as we got to the end it is the start on hells revenge wich had an awsome trail sigh. though waiting for everyone else to get to where we were (meaning me and kyle) me and kyle c. desided to go explore a little rock house typre thing, so we ran over there and me not knowing that a jumping cactus acctuwally jumps i set my hard right next to one and in my hand it went after geting back to my dad kyle grabed some pliers and riped it out. this hurt so bad!!!!!!!!! so to get revenge every one that i drove past got spit on (it helped to make it feel better). and as we got out of the mine being soooo PISSED at my truck from the idle being so high i let my friend kyle drive back to the truck. he was driving aginst the sun and all together hes a crapy driver he swirved to let a jeep pass still going about 50 he hit sand after geting out of the we pressed on later finding that it wants to death wable back to the truck. so cottenwood canyon rd became a nightmare from the shaking. made it back to the truck fine though loaded up and went home later finding out that he shot the bushings in my track bar leading to my next project.

and that was an adventure at woodpecker mine
