The next trail we chose for the newbies was one called We Show. It was a very short, but right trail with a few good challenging spots!

Toward the middle of the trail there is a decent obstacle that because of the mud, made it a large ledge that wasn't passable. Because of the mud, it made it tough just to get over to the bypass.

Picking a line!

Unfortunately, he stalled but with some quick thinking was able to grab the brakes

Hitting the gas and heading straight up, he actually hit 3 wheels right after this shot!
ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1464138591.592844.jpg
Back on the ground, he was able to grab traction and come right up
ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1464138631.431003.jpg
And done!

And finally we finish the newbie run! Everyone had a great time and there was only some slight fender damage to Carlos' rig.
A great looking group, can't have just one shot!

Great photos, it's nice to see some of the fun y'all had in the morning. And yes I did have a little fun before everyone arrived.
 
Since the newbies were no longer newbies, we jumped with the advanced group and ran a level three trail :)

Now time to head back to camp, and get ready to run Rock Garden :)
 
ROCK GARDEN
Right next to camp, there is a section of boulders about 50 feet long known simply as the Rock Garden. Three of our group members decided to take on the challenge. Nick was the first to take on this rocky run.
