Wheeled there this weekend for the Wounded Warrior event.  Dry everywhere except washouts on the access trails.  Much easier than the last few times I was there when it was muddy.  Hardest obstacles I succeeded on were V-Notch and Rock&Roll.  RBD and Copperhead are pretty impossible and didn't even think about them other than to look.  V- notch claimed a good deal of carnage.  Punisher is a lot dryer than usual but still mud in the bottom;  I've never wanted to try it, but it's almost dry enough to be tempting.

Left side of Los Primos was easy, but the gully leading into it is fun.  Further right you go the worse the breakover.  Gauntlet was point and shoot, but lots of lines are available for variety.  Same with Loop Springs.  Did Good and Ugly, skipping Bad.  The short climbs opposite the top of Gauntlet offer a variety of challenges, with Gator probably the hardest.  The one closest to Copperhead is harder, but has no name I could see.

I know another group wheeled a week ago, so perhaps they can report what trails they did.

I was there on Saturday for a few hours before work. V notch, Gauntlet, and GBU were all awesome as always. I walked up Ugly and was super happy with my Krawlers at 12 psi. My wheelbase does not like Copperhead. Yet again I was thrown up on my rear two tires and broke a tail light/ scraped my hatch on the ground. I also broke my steering box there so that didn't help. Fun park for sure when it's dry.

Don't know if I can make this ride yet or not.

Looking forward to this ride and hoping it is dry.  I can't remember the last time I was wheeled MM dry.

@ranier1315 I picked up some extra lug nuts that I'll give to you to replace the two I jacked up.
@tazstoy I have valve stems for you to replace in your spare parts box
@RedDragonATL I also have valve stems for you as well if you are making this ride
