Here's a good shot of Noah, looking for our party members who fell behind changing a flat:

I love the picture of busa in the passenger seat with the confederate flags flying behind him

So the "Ubehebe Challenge" is basically a test of endurance... to make it to the bottom of the Ubehebe Crater (Ubehebe Crater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) and back up in 15 minutes. Doesn't sound or "look" to bad from the top... however it's very deceiving!

Because of the volcanic rock that's been pulverized, it's like climbing in loose gravel. Step forward, half-step back! Very challengine, and the 15-minute mark is tough to come under.

Our Canadian buddies Doug and Kyle joined us yet again, all the way from Nelson, B.C.! Doug's 3rd run with us, and we always enjoy their company. Doug ended up being the only one of the group that came in under the 15-minute mark... and so he accepted the cash pot we threw together of $100!!

Here I am, helping Doug out with some water after he collapsed onto the sidewalk at the top of the crater:



And of course, Doug regaining his strength with his beer of choice, and accepting the cash pot:

Now what!?

I bent my passenger side axle tube after taking some whoops to fast. I came up on a turn and I either could slow to the turn or go plow of the road into the brush. I chose to slow and once I got of the top of the whoops they started kicking my ass. G'd out really really badly. At least I know the outlaw bump kit works.

Glad to see somebody got pictures of my truck too!

Where did you take those of mine? Was it when I was giving the demo rides?

No sweat. Glad I could grab a couple. And yes, it was on the demo stretch.

His bushings are going bad on his driver side lower control arm. His truck held up fine though.
