commentaries from "broncochuck"......

"After our experience last week at Richloam with hydro-locking the Cherokee, we played it safe and did some U-turns on the aggressive trails. As a result we didn't get pics of some of the deeper stuff the others folks went through. With not having any rain for the past 3 weeks, trails are getting a little dryed out, but you can still find some deep water and mud which they found today. Took some more video, will try to get that edited along with the last 2 weeks videos and post somewhere.

A few casualities today:
FIRST - A stock Ford Explorer 4x4 hydro-locked on the first major water hole and had to be towed out to Center Grade. After Bobby & I turned away from a deep hole further down the trail, we met the Explorer guys on Center Grade and towed them out to the campground where a AAA tow truck picked them up. (AAA = well worth the membership)
SECOND - an F150 lost its rear wheel drive and had to drive out with only front wheel drive.

JayDee used his Welder on the trail to fix a shifter that had broke.

Met alot of nice folks (and pets) today. Had a great time. Thanks to Off-Road Pirates for putting this ride together and for welcoming others to their ride. Looking forward to future rides."
