srmitchell's Deer Valley/Slickrock run: July 21-24

I'm leaving in a few mins for my cabin. Im not planning on running cabbage patch, but we might take the atvs through there. I will be at every other run. Don't leave without me!! :p
 
Great trip. I'm sure more details will follow. I didn't take any pics because I am lame and was having trouble just keeping my junk from scraping on every rock. But there were plenty of cameras so lets see those photos.

We had a good turnout: Columbus, Columbus' dad Jack, Tim, Eric, Rich, Ed, Kelly and family, Kevin and his dad Mike (IIRC - I am terrible with names), me, and my brother Nate. Even LodiJim showed up to the campfire for some moral support. Hope I didn't forget anyone.
 
you forgot Jax...

good trip for sure. my camera had dead batteries so no pics from me.
glad columbus found the source of his mysterious rear drive shaft noise...
 
I'm home but my junk is still up at Kevins cabin. Some crappy weld on the trackbar broke on Slick Rock but some quick thinking by others (not me) came up with crossing ratcheting straps to get me up to the cabin. I'll be heading up next week to retrieve Wilbur. Great time anyway. Good times for sure. I'll upload my pictures after I hop in the shower.
 
I took too many photos so I will have to divide them up a bit. Here's Part I of Corral Hollow:

Part II of Corral Hollow:

Along with the late July snow, we found several trees down blocking the trail. Thankfully Tim brought his reliable chain saw.

Here's another pic of Tim with his trusty, reliable, and dependable chain saw. The tree was ultimately dragged out of the way, as I recall.

And yet another downed tree...

How was the water crossing at DV?
Did any of you guys make it to the second water crossing?? I would love to know the level of that right now. If its passable or not for my trip next weekend.

Sean and I crossed. It was not much different than any other year: over-rated! Not a drop of water came inside my jeep....

Every jeep in our group could have crossed it no problem.
