This is a write up for a trail run I led yesterday, I hope you enjoy 
What a great time!
We all were wondering what we might be getting our selves into by the time we arrived in Eureka for gas, We had driven through rain, fog, sleet, But once we drove out of Eureka the sky's cleared and we knew we were in for a beautiful Saturday at Little Sahara for our February trail run.
When we arrived at the base of Sand Mountain there was already a group of WC'rs unloading and chatting with each other, We all aired down signed in and Will conducted a little business, Then it was to the top! We had a fairly large group and it took a little bit to get everyone to the top of the mountain.
We were backing up at the top, Gary T. was nice enough to offer to stay back as gunner and make sure the final two rigs could make it over, I lead the group over the top and we dropped into the back side of the dunes, Once we got to a big open area I stopped so the kids could get out for a few minutes and expend some energy while everyone else caught up, Let people head out as they saw fit to go play till we moved on.
This is where the fun started...
Clay R. had jumped his Blazer and managed to break something in his front axle and people were trying to figure it out what exactly it might be, The rest of us rolled up on the place where we caught the big air last year and played around and had lunch, It just happened to be where Clay broke.
There will be more from where this came from...
After lunch it was decided that Clay and many others were going to go back the way we came in, Some heading for home others were helping Clay out.
Our small group of 3 rigs decided to keep going on our planned route out and around the back side of Sand Mountain.
Once we got near the fingers at Sand Mountain was played around a little Randy W, Wayne T and myself ran a few more hills.
We arrived back at the parking lot below Sand Mountain and heard that the other group was still having issues getting over the top.
