Is there going to be more water in that 1st crossing this time to consider leaving my doors on? Or will it be just like the last trip?

I had a great time today:) Nice meeting everyone and hope to see you on the trail in the future!!!!

Trip report:

Started out around 10:30AM and headed to fr-98 and hit the trail head around 11am. 11:30AM We headed up the wash on 98 and Tony got a rock stuck in the sidewall, after a short delay we were all back running thanks to Joeseph and his HIlift jack.

The rockgarden got the best of me and Tony, but with a little help we all made it through. We reached the corral around 2:30PM and enjoyed the beautiful view of bartlett lake. We desended down to the lake and hit 393 and and enjoyed the perfect day and of coarse the lake!!! Thats when all the fun began..THE WASHOUT!!!!! I thought..lets take a different line and attempted to drive up the side of the washout and started sliding accross the top. After accessing the akward postion..We decided it would be a bad day for a flop!!!! I slowly back out and got pinned against a rock. Joeseph then snatched his winch and yanked me out backwards!!! We decided just to follow the trail and get past the washout and with some carefull spotting we all got past the dificult spot. Its now around 4:30PM and we headed south on 393 and made our way to the river crossing. The river looked like it was flowing preety good around 2 1/2 deep and rushing fast!!!! After a quick survey I decided it was time to cross!! Half way through it got very slippery, I just gased it and shot right accross without incident;) We all headed out and met by the marina to re-connect and air up.

If anyone has picks post them!!!! And yeah especially the new body damage I got on my quarter panel!!
