Since the trip organizer, @Go1712 (David), couldn't make it due to a blown coolant tank, we found a new trail boss. @Maverick909 got us all marching to the same tune.

@Mx5red might have been a bit sleepy and missed his opportunity to be the first one to bend some metal and get stuck. But @Craigger stepped up.

This was the "who's your daddy now?" obstacle of the trip. Probably right up there with the Rubicon Trail's Little Sluice stuff.

Craig gave it a good try. He got wedged in pretty tight when he slipped off the obstacle and it looked like we were going to have to call for a Skycrane to lift it out. But he got it up on the rocks ... but what goes up, has to come down. It did. It was teetering on his rails, all 4 wheels off the ground. He pulled line and tugged it over. His rig looked driveable... more or less.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
Looks like a fun time, I still have coolant smell from running that trail 2 yrs ago lol. Looks like you found a couple extra pucker rocks that we went around :)
