Got back yesterday from the trip. Not a bad drive at all. We got there on Friday and did night rides on 27 and 26 I believe. Fun little easier trails.
Saturday we started out around 0900 and immediately hit 16 then planning on a couple of others, however, 16 turned out to be a 12 hr trail!
it was exhausting wheeling with 4dr Jeeps that extended this thing all day. We had probably 9-10 rigs in the group originally, but somehow added on about 5 more at the general store. The JK, JKU/JL, JLU peeps probably lost a total of 4 passenger side mirrors, and passenger oem fenders.
I sure did see a lot of bad drivers in my group. I’m not an expert by any means but man some people can’t drive.
I did take advantage to sway from the group and not take the bypass to try the ledge on top of 16. Second bump attempt got me right up followed by 3 more 2drs. The guide we had, had said he’s never seen a2dr get up that ledge, I told him don’t tempt me with a good time.
The night uphill shot on 16 was a real doozy. All we’re saying the left side was the harder line and the right was the “bypass” and to do it only if you had lockers. One I crawled up it easily, I look down the “bypass” knowing we all got duped. The mud and rut on that side was way deep. So deep, I had to winch 5 Jeeps up that started with passenger tail lights, and no longer had then once they reached the top. Overall is was a good time. Going to try and make it back in July with a 2 dr exclusive trip only.
