We had a great run on April 11th out in Stoddard wells ohv area. We ran the Devils Loop trail and some other stretches of trail that lead out to Achey Breakey (though we passed on that section) and some of us also ran Costly Canyon. We had a little carnage along the way, a little spotting and deployed the strap once but it was a blast and everyone had a great time and wheeled well.
Here are some pics.

Hill climbs a plenty, one of many:
Sliding into rocks and resulting carnage:

Getting some pointers from Quinn
After finishing up DL we headed for some trails that can lead to Achey Breakey but we passed on that trail this time. Some great hill climbs including cresting the top of a steep hill w/ only blue sky and clouds to look at, we continued down to run Costly Canyon, a short stretch of harder up canyon terrain w/ good size rocks. Lacking many pics of that stretch as we had too much fun staying moving and everyone that tried it cruised through w/ no trouble.
IN Costly Cyn: nice bypas for this stretch where bypassers can watch from above.
On the way down from up high, Slash X in the distance.
Check this sequence, what happened?
I dub thee "Taillight Rock!"
Rest of the trip was all downhill and then running through desert back to Slash X to air up, say our goodbyes and hit the road. (stupid asphalt!)
So as to not end w/ damage pics though, here is some of the flora & fauna enjoyed by all:
We even spotted this miniature dinosaur hiding in the brush.
One Horny Toad lizard!
Thanks everyone for being there. Great group, great wheeling. This is What it is all about!
