We attended an organized run of Slaughterhouse Gulch on Saturday, January 26th!
As you can see, the Mighty YJ was 2nd from the right (and apparently the smallest (but mightiest) rig of the bunch).
We alternated from getting stuck to helping someone else get unstuck. Pat had the honor of getting stuck twice and earning the "Cowbell" for this trip!
Thank goodnes for the build up of snow on the passenger side of these rigs. Natural inclination is to steer uphill. In these conditions, it created a sled track that moved you back toward where you didn't want to be. Those who steered into the ruts had no problems.
It was a lot of fun. The trail was fairly empty. We didn't see anyone else until we were leaving via the access road.
One thing about the Winter (possible) trails is the tippy nature of some areas. People misread them (after all you cannot see what is under the snow) and drive high on one side or the other to avoid possible perceived problems.
It was a lot of fun and a heck of a way to spend a Saturday!
