There is a lot of pictures I might have taken too many. I even deleted a lot.

The descent in the first set of pics is AWESOME!!! I remember it from every year past. I've never seen anyone take quite the lines some of those guys were taking though.

And the squeeze in 20-23 of 50 in the last set, I've seen a CJ8 go through that thing with only losing the passenger side tail light lense.:eek:

We had a blast the Parker 4 wheelers do a good job setting up the event. There is a lot of awesome trails up there. The pictures are Snakebite 1 & 2, Jb Revenge. Deliverance, Rio Lobo. These were all the trails we didnt do the year before. Hope to see you there next year.

It's in Parker, AZ... I think Snakebite is rated 4 or 4.5... Deliverance is a 3.5 maybe? Correct me if I'm wrong, Kyle.

I didn't see the sheets but I heard they changed SB#2 to a 5.0 . Rio Lobo was a fun 15 minute run but must be willing to get rubbige . If you never have been it's a must and be up there a day early so you have a chance to hit all the 4.0 & up , need 3 days with the traffic . We had to skip Pres. Choice because the 1st group ran it backwards and the 2nd group meet them 1/2 way thru (log jam).Good times but everyother year is good enough .

The other one that was in there was jb revenge it was rated 5. This year they rated Rio lobo a 4+ not a 5 it did look easier than last year. I want to say Deliverance was 4-. I seemed to get the best body damage on the easiest one we did, that is how it seems to work for me. We pretty much did all the trails we missed last year.

I would trade the body damage for the hard parts I broke anyday , but it's funny that the one fairly straight rig in our group got his ding on Deliverance too . I guess JP's Revenge will have to wait since I didn't know were it was .It had been 3 years since I ran snakebite and it took a couple turn arounds to find it and #2 also .

Hey Kyle,
That squeeze in 20-23 of 50 in the last set of pics is on deliverance, right? After the squeeze, it goes to the right and then up a 3 foot-ish step with lots of loose sand that can make it a little tough to get up if you don't hit it just right, then you're pretty much done with the fun stuff, right? I LOVE that trail...
If anyone ever finds an LED tail light on that trail, it's mine... I lost it about a year and a half ago on a night run I lead there with my buddies from Vegas...:D

Speaking of lost stuff if anyone found my 3/8 craftman ratchet and socket on True Grit right after the hard right/lip let me know , we lost a timing sensor off a 4cyl. right there and didn't want to push him off down the wall without p/s and p/b although it would have made great video .

Yes that was Deliverance we took right after that the water fall after that the next fall was pretty much all dug out. I only saw two jeeps make it up that one was Cherokee and one was JD in his LJ. Just after that one is where there is a optional big v notch that is where I slid in and smashed jeep. One of our friends was having problems with Ox locker so we went to bar. If I remember right last year we dropped back in wash and there is couple off camber spots. I think they called it devils elbow you can catch some good air on that one, then that is the end. Instead of going right after the squeeze it will take you right to devils elbow. I really enjoy the trails out there we try to make it out there fro Desert Splash every year. Not to mention we won the early registration raffle and it was 530 dollars that pretty much made for free trip up there.
