Sunday 3/13 we hit the Otis area trails hoping they would be dry enough to run already. They were wet but very run-able. Frost has worked a few more rocks up and quads have dug up the trail in places but over all it was super to be out again. Being lazy I didn't take still pictures while wheeling but did have the dash cam running the whole time. Here are a few screen shots from the run. Sorry they are mostly the butt end of a Jeep but it's the way it is.
Typical shot of a dryer section:
Taking a go-around to miss a deep mud bath:
Covering the rocks with water make picking the line a little more difficult:
There certainly was enough mud to have made Michelle happy:
And not surprising the normal rock obstacles were still there:
Being the first run we stopped a few times and gave the bow saws a workout but nothing serious. Then on the last leg we ran into this downed tree:
Now we could have turned around, another trail exit was just 5 min back up the trail, but hey, we're guys. Got to take on the challenge right? Hand saws, pry bar and a little winching, Success!!!
Well this picture is actually before we were done, but it makes a more dramatic shot:
We even stopped to try and grab me a supporting member photo:
