Had a great day in Peanut butter thick to watery, soupy mud. Logs, rocks and a little carnage to the lone Toyota in our group.
I bypassed a good majority of the rock piles, but did run a good share of the hill climbs and Bathtubs. I got hung up once near the end of the 800 trail between a couple rocks and a tree. My lack of lockers became readily apparent. :bang:
Dave, one of the group members spotted me, gave some instructions and taught me how to do the "Moab Bump". :bacondance: After a little backing and a better line, I had her done! I popped two cherries today. The Jeep build and my Rock Hopping cherry. Needless to say, I'm quite thoroughly hooked now! I avoided body damage, which was my ultimate goal. I learned a lot about my vehicle and myself. I'm hangry for moar!
The first extreme rated obstacle:
Don Running the rock pile.

I bypassed this one. A little too far outside my comfort zone and vehicle capability.
Instead of posting each individually.... I'll post up the entire album link.
