Title: Re: Mottino Wash Post by: theking on August 25, 2010, 10:25:13 PM My buddy Jason is towing his buggy from Santa Anna. I'll have to see what time he can leave.
Title: Re: Mottino Wash Post by: Bobby B. on August 25, 2010, 10:51:52 PM FYI...it took us a few hours. We left the house in BB City before 9 and got back around 3.
It's a loop, but the thing was that some flash floods went through there and moved a ton of crap around. Big crap. One of the guys (from BB) had gone through there a month before that and said most of it he didn't recognize from his previous trip. There's flash flood warnings for that area as of right now, actually. It was way fun, and don't take this as discouragement by any means. Maybe just leave a little wiggle room on the time frame just in case. Also, send the lowest geared, biggest travel rig through first -- just in case you need to strap off someone lol. :thumbup: And watch your diffs. We were joking about how we needed to rename it 37 canyon, as we wished we had 37s.

Title: Re: Mottino Wash Post by: dkim568 on August 29, 2010, 07:50:19 PM ah roastbeef! you missed out man, it was pretty fun, definitely a challenge with open-open diffs. I was lucky to get away with just a broken mirror and some body damage to the rockers, which I kinda knew would happen since I don't have sliders yet...Thanks Steevo and Kenny for some great spotting, it could've been a lot worse.
Title: Re: Mottino Wash Post by: theking on August 29, 2010, 08:27:29 PM That was a fun trail! Anytime, Daniel. Was good to finally see your rig in action.
