I had a great time and I appreciate @Elff leading us around and showing us a great time. I really enjoyed the afternoon and it was 22 degrees down and 25 degrees on the way up the hill climb. I was using this as a shakedown for what needs to be upgraded and I think I've thrown lockers out the window because the lsd was awesome. Underbody protection and a winch have moved up the order. We should definitely do this again with camping, I think that would be a great time.Nothing quite like some random snow squalls during the day. LOL

I took some poser shots of the Trail Guide Vehicle after we all climbed Trail 11.
Congrats on everyone getting that Badge of Honor.

Sadly, we did not take any pics when we hit the North East Property for the second half of the day.
After a short mini Hail storm, the cold and wind went away, the sun came out, and the temps went up to the 50's. It ended up being really nice. We went through Pit Jr. twice and then did a hill descent and a hill Climb. I believe @Cbieh589 said he hit 22 degrees going down and 35 degrees coming up the hill.
Later on, We made a real short run up Talisman [Black/Red] before I realized I missed the turn for T1.
It was a very fun day. I was happy to be the guide and get to meet up with some fellow Gladiator owners. We definitely need to do this again and even add a night of camping as I can see us all having a blast around a campfire on the other side of the parking lot.

We did the entire 1B Trail, were on numerous parts of the Powerline. We stuck to green trails based on the large number of stock vehicles so I did not take us down to the Topless for Tattas area as that is 1 green trail surrounded by blues and blacksDid you's go by the Frog Hole, Powerline, or Topless for Tata's?
Here's a few pictures.Can you post the pics you took when I climbed the concrete?
