Caught the Bug
Official Post Run of the Unofficial Lakes Basin Recreation Area Run
Folks, it was a really fun day yesterday. We had a total of 6 Jeeps, all with various upgrades of some sort or another. We left Reno at around 8:15am and picked up our friend Russ and Naomi ("getoverit") and we started the trail with high hopes, and we were not disappointed!! The weather conditions were absolutely perfect. The trail was excellent with a couple of very challenging sections, especially down near the Snake Lake Area.
Here is my friend Tim and his wife Michelle enjoying a steep downgrade with Dave (aka Fires JK) close behind:

Russ and Naomi dropping off a mini ledge. Russ is a very experienced driver and Naomi was awesome on the radios. She really kept the group together:

Here is Ben (aka benatc1) following behind. He was amazing with the 2-door JK:

Our first real major obstacle that gave us some trouble. There was a bypass for this one, but amazing drivers like Dave (aka QuicksilverJK) were able to conquer this one without lockers, gearing and rocking only 35 inch tires:

A picture of RubySky and Ben's awesome rig. You can see the finger of a trail heading up between the trees, which was only the middle of the climb out of Snake Lake but the start of our troubles (read FUN):
