I went to Bolivia today and once again Bolivia has dramatically changed. It is much tougher getting to the big waterfall and past the big waterfall. The quad trail that used to be on the north side of the big rock is washed out along with the trees that were there. The waterfall now flows off the north side, not the south corner. I did not go very far past the waterfall so I cannot say what the condition of the entire trail is but based upon the lower portion of the trail I would say it is going to be extremely tough. I spoke to Chris on the phone tonight and hopefully he will post a couple pictures I took today. Mark

I'll try to post up the pics tomorrow. Like Mark said, the quad trail to the right is pretty much completely gone. The rain has demolished it!!!

For some reason I am having trouble posting the pics on here. If somebody can PM me their email, I can forward the pics to them and they can post them.

I am going to try and post a couple pictures of Bolivia from last week. If this doesn't work it will be very boring post.

Depending on when you guys decide to go on this run, I may be able to make it. I might be about to pull the trigger on a flatbed yota....we will see what happens. It is a 92 ext cab flatbed, SAS, vortec 4.3, nv4500, and a b!tch'n set of corbeau seats. It has 33's on it now, but if I get it, i need to find a set of 37's to fill the fenders a little more.....like I said....we will see....

Chris, I sure hope you get those wheels. You are one of the very few who made it up with your old LC. I attached a picture of the waterfall, which now runs down the north side. It will probably change the trail before we even make the next trip.

So the fun line is the crack to the right now that it's all washed away???....
Hope I can grab that rig up. It's not getting wheeled too much, just something to play with really. If I do get it, we need to do a 'Con or Fordyce run before it get's tooooo nasty up there!!!
