Depending on damage incurred this weekend, I'll make an attempt to be there.

Good chance to try out ARB's new rack mounted lifeboat.

Noah's fawkin ark?

Are you guys seriously going there after this past month's weather?
That place could drive Rev to wish for nice hard rocks.

I have not brought that up with the organizer. I guess I'm just hoping for the best.

If we do go to the Cliffs there is a possibility of camping on site or one of the local campgrounds listed on their site.

i'll just be a passenger....my rig is in pieces.

as long as it doesn;t rain the day before, it won't be too bad

you sure? that's all i've heard about that place, is that it doesnt even have to rain and its muddy.

i didn't say there wouldn't be mud.....but it will be wheelable.

contrary to popular believe, i have been to the cliffs many times when it was dry. i have also been there after a lot of rain. the only time i had any problems wheeling there, was the day after a big rain.

If it gets almost no rain for the next week of so, it should be real muddy....but livable. If the weather does not break however....plan to winch....allot.

You do know the right seat belongs to the hookup bitch.
I'd wear waders.



And a snorkel.

 

[xj4life]

Well I let everyone know about the mud and they are still in :thumbup:

Looks like we'll be staying at the state campground in town

I'll have to see when I work...I have it written down in this mess somewhere...

I'm only an hour away so I'll swing by when I get a chance.




I was there 3 weeks ago and it was fairly dry. I want a chance to really try out my new BFG MTs!

Hey Brad,

Wild guess here... you don't like The Cliffs? :lickout:

Actually it was pretty dry last weekend. The Badlands was dry as well. Even the well known mud holes on orange were easily runnable. Somehow, both places seem to have escaped the deluge.

Love the Cliffs, got my scuba certification there.


For wheeling during a wet season?


Not so much.
