by RIDE Tue Feb 22, 2011 6:47 amWell me and my buddy Crash arrived at Pickett about 8:45 to see about 7 trucks take off into the park(that was a sign of things to come),we unloaded the rhino which was already covered with mud because they have been pulling ditches on Blackhouse Mtn Rd so we talked to RedRzr,who was already there,then Big Dog Daddy got there he told us his buddy and wife that was coming from Maryville were running late so we decided to take off and do a loop..
We went out 101 which usually has gravel on it but with this winter its nothing but a muddy mess we took the 103 trail and done a good loop seeing the 103 overlook well there was a trail that hadnt been used much so I took off down it with RedRzr and BDD heading back to the truck meet his buddy,well it was about a mile long with a ton of limbs hitting the top of the Rhino, went out to another overlook turnd around and headed back just to hit a big limb and dent my top if that wasnt bad enough I ran into a BIG mudhole and got stuck !!(good thing there wasn't any camera's on that one) After I got myself winched out I headed back out too meet up with the rest of the crew,my brakes were squeeling the rest of the day...
So now we all headed up 1 which I dont think could get possibly any muddier it was tough to go straight at times it was so slick we drove out to the open area were cartenters rock is and trail 16 comes in buy this time they all were ready to eat a bite and then they were going to look at the rock,so they all get off their machines so me and Crash took off to do the Car Hauler trail 16 and were goint to meet back up on trail 3.....
Went down 16 and in the bottom of the holler there was all the trucks that we had seen earlier,they all moved and let us by, so here we go up to the car hauler and here is 6 jeeps in a line coming down it ,after a few minutes they all went by, I just wondered how that traffic jam went on down the trail... anyway we headed up it and met up with everyone and headed all the way out 3 to the sand mines....
Going out 3 we meet two suzuki samuri's and pass by a new rzr xp .... we make it to the sand mine bag house for a short rest stop then go on to 51 and around the bluffs there is still ice on to 9 then 48, 56, 21,we took 47 to 45 back to one ,we stopped by preachers rock then I headed on back to the truck were the rest I think rode just a little more and on my way out I met a diesel and a 2wd chevy truck
I wouldn't think they made it far ...
I only got a couple of pics..
just got a litte video...
