I think the trail was fun and I don't remember the third water crossing being that hard. I only had trouble in one place the first water crossing. :thumb:

Sweet #1 looks like a car wash and about 3+ feet deep, nice shot.

The water was really high that day. Made it harder to see the "bumps" in the river. It was a great time though. The fourth crossing gives me trouble every time. The bank coming out is steep. I made it open the first time. The second time I was locked and got stuck, go figure, but I didnt have a spotter either. I love my winch :D

I ran it with those darn 28's and only got winched once by none other than Scott :bang: We ran it pretty fast after I held everyone up for an hour or so. I took a beating stock. :paddle: It realy is a fun place, and like Scott said the water was deeper than normal.

I have truly wheeled alot of crap stock. Funner that way. Now I am scared that I will go break shit and be stranded. :cool:

Yea that's always a concern, I'll over build mine for what I do and still probably break something. Don't have enough room to carry a spare a Jeep.

the third is easy peasy there is just a stoopid line to the left of the center and past a magnifinormus boulder. Don't get caught on the boulder and sta to the left of the log and it is pretty gnarly. The bad part is just a offshoot of the crossing... make sense? It is real easy to see the line from the dropoff. there is a nice little rock garden just before the crossing too.
