Hey all
Yeah, it's been almost a full month and I'm still going through my photos from this year's KOH (roughly 6k photos). If you've never been to KOH, this is one of those bucket list items; it's like Burning Man with 4x4s; a full week and a half of racing, wheeling and partying. Even though it's pretty much controlled chaos 24x7, it's amazing how the Ultra4 group keeps things organized and running pretty smoothly. Si with that being said, here's a bit of a recap:
Monday: Woke up at 4:30 am to make the 8 hour drive to Johnson Valley, with the goal being to make it there by 2 pm for a media safety meeting for the Holley Shootout and to capture some shots of the Everyman Challenge power hour. I made it in time and there were no issues on the way down. Now the original idea was to drive down in my JKUR and camp/sleep inside my rig like usual, however, last year's temps (18's -20 degrees at night) made me rethink about camping in my soft top Jeep, so I decided to take my FJ cruiser which has a bit more insulation (and I just put on brand new 33 inch BFGs on it). Yes I know, a Toyota but to be honest, an 8 hour drive in a JKUR with freezing night time temps isn't that appealing.
The road to the Hammers right after Barstow and the FJ that got me there
One of my favorite things about KOH is pulling into Hammertown; as you make the turn from Boone Road, you're met with a sea of RV, rigs, ATVs, UTvs.
