Rain, rain go away; come back another weekend!

Chris

P.S. Has anyone been there when it was pretty wet? If I remember correctly each year that we've had this event it's been pretty dry, luckily.

every year that we've been it's been dry. last fall ernie, brett and i did some playing around when it was wet and it wasn't all that bad.

the only major concern that i have with all the rain are the washouts - especially on trail 8 and at the top of slickrock. everything else isn't so bad unless you're on an extreme trail.

From my experience, trails like 4,5,6,8(except for water hole) will be totally fine. It's trails like Slickrock, guardrail, heli pad, 2, and school bus that become totally different trails when wet. Fun, nevertheless!

I'm always up for something new and a challenge is more than welcome. As far as 8 is concerned, it's not that bad semi-dry but I could see that being HELL with any significant rain, LETS GO FOR IT !!!!

Sounds good Brian, Man I wish I could make it! I'll be there in the fall locked and loaded though. Locker and gears are going in when I get back from vacation, then new tires and if the funds hold out, i'll have a winch soon too.

Now I get to ride 3 deep in a regular cab pickup... for 7 hours. Hope there's some boozing going on when I show up cause I'll be ready.
