Redrzr took some pics and video. He should be putting them up soon.
We left the store around 9:00 cst. Went straight to the hauler. Jeff will have some video of that. Left there and went to what I think Jeff called the sand stone. Jeff got some video of that also. Jeff went up it. Bill got stuck on a big stump, but we got him off of that. Me and Dillon went around while Bill was stuck. From there went to Arch rock and got some pics there. Went on to the lake near WOW overlook. On the way there Jeff let a mud hole get him. Got him out and then when we got to the lake I rolled mine onto the passenger side. Pics coming soon. No damage to unit or humans. Left there and went to WOW overlook and ran thru a few sprinkles of rain. Left overlook and stopped near Carpenter's rock play area. Took a look at the sky and decided it was time to head back to the trucks. shortly after we started back the rains came. Dillon got stuck on the way back, but Jeff pulled him out with his strong back and a strap. Did I mention it was raining, I mean pouring. Stopped at the barn on the way back for a break from the rain. After it let up we headed to the trucks. Total ride was 37 miles. Loaded up and headed to the house at about 4:00 cst. It was a good ride. Ready for the next one. Hope to see more of you there.

Started the day at 9am. left the store and headed up to the sand mines, driving pretty slow because the dust was terrible. Made our way down to trail 16 and headed down to the carhauler which went pretty uneventful, until steve took over the fourwheeler from dillon to go down the rock below the carhauler and almosback t took out the camera. The next incident was not too bad, bill just didn't get turned up the rock quick enough coming out of 16 almost to trail 1, just had to have a little extra weight on the drivers side to get up. We then went back to arch rock for a couple of pics and then headed down trail 1 enroute to the lake, which was a pretty slow trek due to the dust. Everything was fine till Big Dog Daddy decided to take a unusual line down right at the lake, which didn't turn out too well(see pics). After we got the rhino back on its wheels we took a short lunch break lakeside. We then headed out on around trail 104 back to the gravel, while enroute I came upon a mudhole, but that didn't work out too well as bill had to pull me out(sorry no pic of this due to mud) but a big thanks to dillon for hooking me up.Then we headed down to the wow overlook, started back out and that is when we felt a few sprinkles, so we decided to head back to the store before it started raining too hard, ran up on JodyT about carpenters rock, then headed on down trail 3 when the rain started and that ended our ride with everyone getting soaked except us thanks to our fold down windshield which got folded up. Ended up with about 38 miles on the clock and some new friends,and I hope everyone enjoyed as much as I did.

Will try and make the next one, to risk the drive, dust, rain all needs to be good. Maybe I can get Moto to come with me. Look forward to the pics and vids, wife seemed to enjoy the horse camping trip, rained here too.
