    Decided to play it safe and go to Chinn's Lake, didn't want to drive any further to like Argentine and not be able to get to the top (as happened to me in July) because of snow. Just sucked coming down on the snowy/icy patches - ABS out of control. Easy going up and rather pretty.

    Um... I'm going to go ahead and say yes since we made it over all the obstacles, but you're really going to have to be more specific if you want me to know what you're talking about.

    As far as I know Charlie we hit all the main lines.

    Matt, your picture is the first obstacle, which didn't give us too much trouble. Bob's picture is of the third obstacle and that was probably the hardest. It was the upper part of the rock gardern though where I bent the hell out of my transmission skid and tried to light my clutch on fire.

    The part NYCO has a picture of. Right after the bend is where I had to get pulled up and over the big rock on the left.

    Thats hilarious, they have a video up now too!

    I told you I was hydraulic mining!

    Yes!

    That section was pretty gnar, and looks WAY different.

    I almost quit that one... Large rock was jutting out just above my slider and I was fairly certain it was going to cost me a drivers side door. James put a few rocks under my driver front and that got my slider above the evil pointy part so I was able to drag my slider up the rock instead of my doors.

    I actually do have lots of pictures. I'll see if I can't get to them tonight.
