Status Reports

Trail was extremely washed with areas of water over 3 feet deep with no bypasses. Other than the deep water trail was rough, but definitely doable with high clearance.

It was raining when we went. Only hard part was two mud pits. Seemed too deep to go through (32-36") with our rigs. So took bypass. Had to winch a couple through the bypass due to mechanical issues. Brush on trail midway was a bit tight (photo). We may have made it through the mud pit, but didn't want to start off my trip with water in the engine or in the cab. Oh, and we rescued a drunk chick that was stuck in a hole driving a full size chevy truck that only had 2WD. Good times.

Lots of rocks. VERY VERY deep mud/water holes. Lots of craters. Not meant for stock or low clearance.
