October 16-18, 1998

Timberline is a really neat trail. It's extremely narrow and anything longer or wider than a Jeep will have trouble getting through without doing k-turns or damaging trees and sheetmetal. The trail is a perennial favourite for night runs, as it gets pretty tricky in the dark and is tons of fun!

Of course, with enough tire, wheelbase isn't an issue.

Here I make my very slow approach to the rock garden.

It's so much more fun to play with a flexy rig by going over the rocks instead.

The rock was nice and slick, making it hard to stay on without the perfect line.

Notice the extra munch at the front of the rocker. Scramblers are just a wee-bit too long for this rock.
