Minis Only Run up Cascade Creek

IMG_0536

Today Heather and I went on the inaugural Rising Sun 4×4 Club Minis Only run up Cascade Creek.  We had 11 HiLuxes, 1st, 2nd, 3rd (and maybe 4th?) gen 4runners, and Tacomas out on the trail.

Of course my 1st gen 4runner was BY FAR the coolest, being very stock and with the sweet removable top.  Coolest kid in school!

All bottled up on the trail waiting to get spotted over a tricky spot.  Thanks to Justin for getting us through and not wetting his pants when I did a wheelie up one of the obstacles.  It’s a shame we didn’t get a video of that.

Stopped for a brief rest.

Cesar (I hope I’m spelling your name right!) coming up in his wonderful 4runner.  I think it was a 3rd gen?

Up at our lunch spot at the top.  Look at all those beautiful minis!  Who needs a land cruiser?  NOT US!

All Minis all the time!

There were some great built rigs out today.  Sure, Justin’s beastly red 4runner wasn’t on the trail (transfer case problems) but we had an amazing collection of fine rigs.

The open back is great in my 4runner.

  1. First time I got a chance to check out your website. Really good pics you taken, I especially liked the Minis only run pics! I kow you’re the coolest kid in school, but did you have to block me out of the picture with your awesome 4runner on the Bill moore lake run!?? Cheers!

    1. Hi Steve!

      Haha I was wondering why you parked so far back up at the lake. It’s like you wanted to make sure that my mini was the feature vehicle 😉

      Did you see the panorama of your rig toward the end of the run up to Bill Moore? If you click on it, you can get the full resolution version. If it were my rig, I’d be tempted to print that out and hang it on the wall.

      Cheers!
