Official TJ Fest 2021 picture thread

Of the trails I’ve run, the ratings tend to overstate the actual difficulty. But that could just be my lack of general fear.
I would agree. Some obstacles, some locations (heights) and Pritchett should be considered accurate.
 
How was the cell service and ham radio repeaters availability on the trails? Any info here? RepeaterBook show two 2M repeaters. Did anyone try them?

I didn't personally try a repeater due to most of the group were in line of sight but @Dino - KX6D might have tried since he was the comms guy.

I usually have cell service using Verizon.

Thank You, I will most likely be alone, maybe others on the trail if they can stand the heat. What a heat wave they have going at the moment.

I’ve done most of those trails alone. Take plenty of water and I’d recommend an Inreach mini incase something bad happens. Try to join someone else if you can.

Probably best to let others know which trail(s) each day and check in case u get stuck. Maybe at gate or rv park, etc.

Received notification last night my Steel Bender Badge shipped. Anybody hear anything about the mysterious Golden Spike badge?

That took them awhile. I got mine a couple of weeks after we got back. I guess it is hit or miss with them.
I think it depends on inventory levels. I received Pritchett and Metal Masher quickly. I've had others waiting in my mailbox by the time I returned from a trip too.
 
:cry: I forgot to check into the trails and I didn't realize it until the last day of the trip. Too bad.

I thinking pop riveting them on the kick panel under the steering wheel would be pretty cool though.

Magnet backing and a metal plate in my garage is my intention.
