It was nice meeting Gabe and company, thanks for stopping by.
The Hard Rock Crawlers were there for three days and didn't run the same thing twice. (Minus fire roads)
For those of you running blacks at NACFEST, I highly recommend trail 5 on the west side (Best trail out there), the tombstone area and camel back on the south side are also good. Collapsed the right front fender and lost a drive shaft on camelback. Great off camber stuff, high pucker factor.
Reds were the rock garden, no big deal and Otters way, only made it 30 feet. That's an Xj eater.
Other good trails were snake bite on the south side, a little long but any XJ with 33's will make it. Nice and wide, no tree rubs to worry about, just a lot of rocks. good trail.
The lake area (large mud hole) on the south side is also good. Some tough hill climb exits and a blue exit as well. worth the visit to see others play on the hills if nothing else. I had to be snatched over the main exit, lots of sandy loom and smelly mud. The lake is DEEP. I might need a better snorkle. :laugh:
Trail 13 on the west side was also good. good selection of mud ruts, rocks and stream crossings. We had an LJ open/open on 33's tear it up.
Good mix of green, light blue, blue/black and black/reds for all levels of vehicles.
Great place Rausch Creek and Lynn and company are as accomodating as can be.
Good venue for NACFEST.

Good Hunting!!
