Barnwell Mt. Work & Play! - Land Rovers Only

Burns · 10-30-2007, 12:07 PM

The fall work weekend for Barnwell Mountain in Gilmer, Texas was this past weekend. Texas Rovers, Houston Land Rover Club, and a few of the Arkansas boys joined forces for a weekend of work, play and more playing.
As we ran the last couple of trails for the day, we ran into difficulty. Landy96 blew up his rear diff, we broke a front axle, on the way home Landy96's water pump went out. It was a pretty stressful and weary time just to get out of there and make it home but all in all it was worth it.

Nice!

I got a bit confused by some of the first pics of your rig though.

The mask on the skeleton looked like it was on its pelvis.

O, and i am glad to see that i am not the only person to bust brush in sandals.

Thorns suck.

LOL, got a few good butt shots in I see.

Sorry about your mishaps, but it sure looks like you had a fun and productive time! Can't wait to get back there next year!

Lets see, west coast does watches, east coast does forks, and Texas does butts. Hmmmm....so much to learn.

Man, i;ve said it before, and I'll say it again, I am VERY JEALOUS of your washout type wheeling. Wanna do that one day.

We can't wait to have you back down here.

Butts are more fun than watches and forks.
