June 9th Katemcy Rocks

Yesteryday we wheeled at K-Rocks from 9AM until dark. I can't wait to do it again.

It looks like they are going to be open on the weekend of June 9th and 10th. I'm thinking of going on for the day on Saturday the 9th. I'll be leaving SA at around 6AM and back sometime late that night.

Any one else want to go?

Have plans to wheel Canyons on the 16th. K2 will have to wait until the fall.

I might be up for this. My buddy and I were just talking about going out there again soon. I will see if this weekend will work for him.

Anyone planning on going to k2 this weekend? I am pretty sure it's the last weekend they are open at least according to their website. I am still thinking of going. I have 2 or 3 other jeeps that would be heading up there with me.

We are still planning on going out there on Saturday.

Wish I could go, but have a wedding to go to that day.
Will be at Canyons the following week.

If the Jeep survives K2 then we might be going to Canyons also.

Cool, I'm just doing a day run. But some others from another forum will be wheeling the weekend.
PM me when you know for sure.

Sweet so I will be coming out from San Angelo with 2 other jeeps who are staying at the cabins for Friday and Saturday. Duke we should plan on meeting up there and wheeling Saturday. Ill pm you my number so we can meet up. I'll be driving a silver xj on 35s and the other two jeeps are red and green 4 door jk's.

Myself and another TJ are planning on being up there Saturday morning

Jeep, Trailer, gear, and coolers loaded. 6AM roll out to be at K2 by 8. Yeahaa.....

I wanna hear how this went! You guys got any pics or vids?

Rolled in to K2 at 8AM. On the trails by 9. Not many people there...maybe 15 to 20 trucks total. Was in a small group of 4 Jeeps. We ran School Bus, Cyclops, and several trails I can't remember. Myself and my buddy Phil decided to break off and try a couple of harder trails. At about 2PM Phil had a driveline failure. He completely blocked the trail and had me blocked into a hole called the Toilet Bowl. Had the choice of winching up a 20' vertical wall or walking back to the other Jeeps. Went back to camp and recruited Shane to assist moving Phil's Jeep. Between Shane's winch and mine over a 3 hour window we managed to winch him out and back to camp. After getting Phil back to the truck and trailers, I took my boys (9 and 11) to the swimming hole for being such good sports. I let each of my boys drive the Jeep over a couple of small rock out croppings as we headed back out to the trailer.

Pretty much the day in a nut shell. Sorry, no pictures or videos as I stopped taking trail pictures years ago.

Sounds like a long but fun day man. Good job on what sounds like a serious recovery. Did Gavin (XJcrawler) make it out there with you guys?

Yes, chit-chatted with Gavin and the rest of his group (2 JK's) right about lunch time for few minutes before we each went our seperate ways.

Ya good meeting you duke. I might make it out to canyons and maybe have the chance to wheel with you. Sucks to hear about the breakage.

I had a good time out there though ran a ton of trails and even though none of em were extremely tough I still got on some crazy lines. I have some pictures I'll post up including some of your guys' group Duke.

Can't wait to see em!

Duke, was the "Phil" the English guy with the 4 door red JK? (Phil Day from Trail Duty) I know he heads to K2 on a regular basis.
I haven't wheeled with him in a while. He's been quiet on the JKO as well.

Yes it was Phil Day that broke.

Funny story - On Saturday my son (9) asked why the steering wheel in Phil's Jeep was on the wrong side. I asked what he was talking about and he said, "Phil is English and so his steering wheel is supposed to be on the other side." I had to explain to him that while Phil was English his Jeep was American.

K here are some of the pictures from K2 from my group. Duke my buddy took a ton of you guys when we saw you guys, check them out!
