Anchorage Area Crawlers
 

Well, I finally managed to track down some other crawlers in the area. We've been going out just about every weekend for the last month or so. Many of the AK guys have already seen these photos, but I figured I'd post up here and show off some of the scenery we get to enjoy here. Plus, we've got good crawling that's only a 15 minute drive from town :) All these photos are from March and on up to April 1st.

For anyone in the Anchorage area whose interested in meeting up, take a look at the forum at http://www.aroara.org. I've got contact info and all that good stuff posted there.

that sillouette pic is awesome i think i might use that for my desktop
in fact all the pics are great looks like you had fun

Wow, great pics and beautiful scenery. "thumbsup" I love the tire stuff action.

nice pics...im just waiting on my axle c's to come in...had some shipping issues...then i will be heading back out there

Who needs axle-c's when you got duct tape! I'd like to see some of those photos Kevin was taking before we go there.

yeah figured the duct tape just wasnt good enough any more...i dont got any pics of before you came only some shacky video of just that little crawling

Im planning on going back out there at 10am or so on sunday..Kevin said he can go for sure and hes gona bring Brian so if you and anyone else can come that would be great

10 am? Jeezus! You guys are early risers! :)

Sounds good. I gotta go out to the valley on Saturday so I will definitely be out Sunday. I'm sure Ricky will be out there Saturday and Sunday.

haha yeah i go to bed around 1 or 2 i just cant justify sleeping when its light out...

Well, it was a pretty good time today (for some). The Gremlins were out in full force. Ricky's ESC blew up before he even got it on the ground. I guess Brian killed two servos. Kevin and I managed to survive the rest of the day without any problems. We managed to find a nice mudhole and got some nice shots of that. I'll have to post 'em up once I can get 'em from Ricky.

Nice pics dude! Awesome area......I lived in Anchorage(sp) for 4 years.

Four years? Military? Although that's also the usual timeframe it takes for people to realize that the awesome scenery and unlimited summer activities don't exactly outweigh the nasty winters :) Thanks for the compliment.

Well, ol' Ricky and I went out on Sunday while everyone and their mother went to the Slush Cup. I don't know why the hell I didn't go. Anyway, went out to McHugh again and it was windy as hell but still a good time. Ricky got a bad case of gremlins though; lower links kept poppin' loose.

I figured I'd post up some photos. I posted 'em up at the AROARA site also.

Ricky wadded up in the bushes (thanks to a little bump by Your Truly)

Ricky stuck in the muck (not my fault)

And here's a quick video of Ricky shootin' the rapids (and not having the greatest success)

And here's probably the best photo I've ever taken

I'm on Elmendorf and looking at getting my first rig here soon. Any ideas on a good hobby shop in Anchorage? The one in Diamond mall doesn't have very much IMO.
