Found three saltwater fishing poles but not my tackle box filled with goodies. I'll pick some stuff up at Academy Sports.

From what I have read about this trip.. BFG will have some new biz soon

lol 6 flats total and it all happened at one time. It was all the same side on 3 trucks except Derrick. Hans, Jason, and myself. About an hour later we were on the go again.

The trip is not something you would want to solo, there is just so much debris that can damage your rig as well as random super soft spots. 2wd people I would not recommend to venture at all. Out of everyone I was the only one that almost got stuck in a deep soft spot that put me at 35 degrees side drop. From what the others saw they thought I was stuck for sure, but with strategy I drove out of it. I do say I had fun though just wish I had taken more and better pictures.

I have to say it was great meeting you all. Everyone was fun to hang out with and talk to. I had no idea of what to expect. I am still trying to figure out how I did not end up with a flat. I checked my tires this morning and everything was still great. I almost feel a little left out. I hope everyone's tires held till they got home at least. Oh yeah I picked up a new air chuck so the crappy one went to the trash. I almost did get stuck a few times before I put it into four wheel drive. So if your 2wd and want to make the trip just make sure you bring friends and recovery gear with shovels and be ready to have fun. I also would recommend making sure you have a good tire repair kit along with a spare or two. I think everyone got lucky because all the holes where dead center in the tires. If any of you have some pictures you would like to share with me please send them to (metzican at gmail.com). I hope you all will invite me along on the next adventure too.

Dude I would gladly invite you to any get togethers I throw or know about. Again thank you for lending a hand in the punctures, your help was much appreciated!! I also got around to your build thread and bookmarked it. Whatever pictures I have I will get to you, I don't have much and they are not the best though. Another thing I will have to do is rethink what I pack and where I pack. I did not like how I packed up what I brought and how hard it was to get to everything. Next time you see me I may have a lot of external storage

I definitely don't have many decent pics at all, didn't spend much time out the truck and the windshield got really nasty... I have dash cam vids but the quality sucks.

SIX freaken flats between 3 people....that sucks. What do you think caused all those flats?

So was it mostly flat all the way or was there any obsticales you had to go through?

Debris caused the flats. We back tracked to see what it could have been, but we were unable to locate it.

No, it was not flat lol. Lots of erosion, sloppy sand/mud, ruts, logs, mini dunes, etc.

I think due to the lack of photos, you guys need to sketch/paint the depictions of all you saw, including the flats. Dangit, I wanna see more pics! Sounds like fun.
