I forgot my camera so no pics from me but John (Kugellager) brought his camera so I'm sure there will be some good pics posted soon.
Kugellager, Skyjump136, and I made the run. We met up about 10am at the north entrance and prepped our rigs. The trail started out fairly easy which is what we were hoping for considering this was basically just a warm-up run. There wasn't any snow to speak of but the trail started getting muddy before we even hit Poser Rock. Since it was just the three of us we by-passed that and coninued on. At the rock pile is when the trail started getting
really muddy. We managed to make it through that area and and the next couple of mud holes with little difficulty. I made sure not to attempt any acrobatics in the major mudhole and drove straight through to the end of the trail. On the return trip is when things started getting a little exciting. We made it back to the rock pile without incident but the mud hole at the rock pile swallowed Skyjump136's KJ to the point that he couldn't even open his driver's side door. Long story short, it took both Kugellager and I to pull him out. Once we got on to FS204 it was either rock or mud the whole way. The tippy point at the top of the trail is where we all re-calibrated our pucker factors.
I know that John got some
really good pictures of that. On the way out we ran across a guy in a J20? and a '70s full size Ford. The look of disbelief when they asked if we had come down the whole trial was almost comical.
That pretty much sums up the run. Overall, it was a great warm-up run and can't wait to see the pictures John took.
