Sorry it took so long ,I have been enjoying this nice day!!.............
Well me and my buddy Crash arrived at Pickett yesterday about 8:45 to see about 7 trucks take off into the park(that was a sign of things to come),we unloaded the rhino which was already covered with mud because they have been pulling ditches on Blackhouse Mtn Rd so we talked to RedRzr,who was already there,then Big Dog Daddy got there he told us his buddy and wife that was coming from Maryville were running late so we decided to take off and do a loop..
We went out 101 which usually has gravel on it but with this winter its nothing but a muddy mess we took the 103 trail and done a good loop seeing the 103 overlook well there was a trail that hadnt been used much so I took off down it with RedRzr and BDD heading back to the truck meet his buddy,well it was about a mile long with a ton of limbs hitting the top of the Rhino, went out to another overlook turnd around and headed back just to hit a big limb and dent my top if that wasnt bad enough I ran into a BIG mudhole and got stuck !!(good thing there wasn't any camera's on that one) After I got myself winched out I headed back out too meet up with the rest of the crew,my brakes were squeeling the rest of the day...
So now we all headed up 1 which I dont think could get possibly any muddier it was tough to go straight at times it was so slick we drove out to the open area were cartenters rock is and trail 16 comes in buy this time they all were ready to eat a bite and then they were going to look at the rock,so they all get off their machines so me and Crash took off to do the Car Hauler trail 16 and were goint to meet back up on trail 3.....
Went down 16 and in the bottom of the holler there was all the trucks that we had seen earlier,they all moved and let us by, so here we go up to the car hauler and here is 6 jeeps in a line coming down it ,after a few minutes they all went by, I just wondered how that traffic jam went on down the trail... anyway we headed up it and met up with everyone and headed all the way out 3 to the sand mines....
Going out 3 we meet two suzuki samuri's and pass by a new rzr xp .... we make it to the sand mine bag house for a short rest stop then go on to 51 and around the bluffs there is still ice on to 9 then 48, 56, 21,we took 47 to 45 back to one ,we stopped by preachers rock then I headed on back to the truck were the rest I think rode just a little more and on my way out I met a diesel and a 2wd chevy truck I wouldn't think they made it far ...
I'll post video and pics in a bit...or day or two

Great video and report. Well like Ridered said he headed back to the truck and we headed to trail 100 to take that loop back to 1 and then back to the truck.
We headed up trail 100 and came to point where we took a look, had a bit of a discussion about continuing on. At this point my rear brakes were all but gone so we decided to head back to the trucks and load up.
It was a great ride and we really enjoyed riding with Ridered, his co-pilot, Redrzr, his wife and Patches the navigator.
My buddy and his wife ( the wild woman ) also had a great time.
As far as my brakes go I think I might know what happened to them. After reading on another forum I believe what I did was glazed the pads and rotor. This can happen if you drive with the e-brake on. Guess what I did at one point? Yep I did. Once I get it cleaned up I will investigate. What pads do most of you recommend ?

I have a set of EBC on mine now (the rotor and caliper were caked full of mud is why mine were giving me fits Saturday...) and they have about 1/2 a pad left with a little over 300 miles on them, my stockers only made it to a little over 300 miles.... now I have ordered a set of heavy duty EBC's which are twice as thick for about the same price....
