I don't think I'm going to be able to make the trip next week end , I will be at the lake picking up the boat, but we are going to do a little riding while we are down there.

As far as the pile looking like a jump ..... It would be fun ....... once !!!!

Took the quads to big rock.
Just got a 2003 660 raptor and it was its first run as well as my first trip to big rock.
It was a great day to be out there.

I was the guy in the black diesel Blazer you passed Saturday morning on that one hill (Jacob's Ladder???).

Our group was staying at Lil' Abners.

Friday we ran the area around Sandlick - Slider, Little and Big Widowmaker, Devil's Brew. Had a YJ break a front axle u-joint first thing that morning on Slider but we just winched him up to the top and he headed back to do repairs. Late afternoon a TJ blew out a rear driveshaft and broke both rear shock mounts off the axle on Widowmaker...fortunately towards the end of the trail and only needed to be tugged twice to get out of the creek. He did need pulled up a hill on the gravel road on the way out. Even with a locked front axle, 36" Swampers, and some momentum he just spun out.

Saturday we ran around Booth's land and surrounding area (and since somebody always makes a comment, we had permission from Charles). Ran up Jacob's Ladder (?), Hairpin, and Lower Staircase. Still fumbling around this area as we don't know it real well. On the way back that evening a few of us stopped off to run Carb Hill.

I figured that was you all that was at Lil' Abners. I passed that orange Bronco heading that way on 11 that morning.

I would have liked to followed you all over to hairpin and lower but the other guy was really wanting to get over to the other side of the hill.

After passing you all on Jacob's ladder, I went on down past Holiday and then on down what should be named... so lets call it "Lower Ladder" turned around and came back up. It was nasty. We came on back up and continued up Holiday and Jacob's. Went over and ran Widow, circled around did Little Widow, then went over to Slider. Afterwards we came back to the creek and that's when ol' boy broke. It was after 4pm at that time so I just hightailed it to my truck and trailer and drove it back in there to that open area where everybody congregates.

Sounds like you are talking about that uphill section that puts the drivers side down in the rocky wash out. It's been a year since I had been there but don't remember it being anything at all in the past. One guy said last time he was there (less than a year ago) he drove up it in 2wd.

That the spot and I concur with what he said. It was just a trail going up a hill side a year ago. I've heard that it was like this in the past as well and someone dozed it smooth. Not sure if there is any truth to it but as quickly as it has washed out I believe it. Hell I came up it back in the middle of September when it was dry and walked up it.
