The Mud Road Revisited

We ended up taking the back way in to The Mud Road and paused at the first trail.

Cojo, Devinchi, Shad and I went wheeling for a few hours off The Mud Road. Cojo also had his son and daughter with him and they seemed to have a good time. We met up at the gas station near the highway and headed out toward the trails. We ended up taking the back way in to The Mud Road and paused at the first trail. I led us down a trail and eventually realized it was the next one I had been thinking of. Dohht! So we turned around and headed out but not before Devinchi got his Rover hung up on a log. I tried to tug him off of it (sadly no pics of my HB towing the Rover!) Well, he eventually got free and we went down the proper trail. I also got hung up on that log and ended up getting free but denting my passenger side door and ripping my rear flare half off in the process. Of course, more scratches too.

All of the places that were so deep in mud and water earlier this year were now mostly dry. We decided to go for the hill that was a problem before and that was drier and not as bad either. It wasn't a snooze, though. At the bottom there was a gulley that we each just avoided by going to our right (last time it was too wet on the side to get traction). After that there are two uneven rock outcroppings to climb, about a trucklength apart. I went up first without incident but forgot to ask someone to take a pic, so it starts with Tim.
