Well Darryl told me that 21 road is normaly a dry river bed but I will have to take his word for it until I get a chance to go back and run it again. The trail I ran had lots of water running in it! This made it impossible to know when you were going to hit a hidden rock or hole. I ended up with dents on three out of four quarter panels. The left front fender took the worst if it. First I smashed my left front fender and then shortly after that Darrly was hung up on a rock that couldn't be seen and needed to be pulled off it. Darrly asked me if I would rather get stuck or get body damage. I smarted off and said I don't get stuck and guess what happened about 15 minutes after I said that............. I don't have pictures of me getting stuck or of where I smashed my left front fender but I know cameras were out at those times so I hope Darryl or Hugh post up those pictures.

I know Darryl hit his top on the over hanging rock, Andy hit his cab on a rock in one of the many tight spots, Wayne bent front and rear bumpers as well as a rear quarter panel and trimmed his fan when the motor mount flexed enough to cause the fan to hit the shroud on a steep mud hill climb, Hugh bent a rocker panel and fender and I damaged three quarter panels. Very awsome trail!

I think the water level dropped at least 3" on the way down from what it was on the way up. The spot I needed a pull to get off of had water flowing over it on the way up but was dry on the way down?
