We had an excellent time at Metberry Gulch on April 27th! With a total of 9 FJ's (and 1 XJ), it was the largest turnout I've seen since the '07 FJ Summit. From Athena & Bill's VERY modified BC, to the two '08 sandstorms, almost every FJ iteration was covered. Robbie brought his TT all the way down from Loveland, and Angie & I finally got to flex our Toytec 3” lift a little bit.

If you haven't run Metberry yet, you should. It's a great moderate trail that will really show you what your FJ (or other 4x4) can do. We had several bone-stock FJ's with relatively new drivers that all did just fine. There were, of course, a few scrapes – but no permanent or major damage was done.

The end of the trail treated us to an amazing view of the river. Thanks to Robbie we had a real 'gourmet picnic'. He was kind enough to bring BBQ pulled pork and fresh macaroni salad. Everyone else brought something to contribute to the pot-luck, and everything tasted wonderful.

It was really a great day of friends, FJ's, and FUN. If you missed this one, hopefully you can join us next time.
