Redeye Run Nov 2008
Attendees : Mike G. CJ5, ScramblerMike, Mike J. XJ, Samurai Steve, Jess R. CJ5
We all met at the Safeway parking lot as scheduled. We headed out for the FS70 to unload and get to the trail head around 8:30pm. Trail conditions were good, traction wasn’t an issue as there wasn’t any snow. We reached the top of the first hill climb in record time without any issues. Arrived at the old Jamboree camp site around midnight, set up camp and had a small fire and swapped stories of past Red Eyes. We did see a little snow in the shadows along the trail.

Red Eye Nov 2005
After that temp repair was done, I went back into my rig and started driving along. I hit a patch of ice, and slid sideways off the trail. I had two down trees behind my rear tailgate, and one stump in front of my front diff. I stepped out and took a look at my situation, and put a plan together. I then CB’d ahead, to let others know that I was going to be delayed. I felt really bad about this, as I didn’t want to hold people up like I did last year.
Red Eye Nov 2004
This year was the easiest since we started this run 7 years ago. But it is still not an easy run and is always fun regardless of the weather. Normally this run takes us through 3-5 ft of snow. This year we got mud and sunny weather. Continue reading “Red Eye Nov 2004”
