Nope.
I'll hang till I can't drive around the obstacles any more then I'll probably just head home. I know the upper portion is more than I can do, but I'm hoping I can do at least as much as a stocker on 33's for the bottom portion.
I'll listen to your advice if you think I shouldn't come along. I've got plenty of other things that are just as important to get done.

As I mentioned above the trail is short, when we get to the actual canyon you can judge for your self if you want to give it a try or loop back out and join us on the pole line road.
I'd guess the technical section is less than a half mile long.
We'll go in by the petroglyphs, they are worth the ride even if none of us do the canyon.

Went past the petroglyphs and then up to the entrance of the canyon. Had to stack a truckload of rocks into a little waterfall since somebody dug some huge holes in there.
Once we got past that, the 80's decided they didn't want to try the canyon. The 40's were time limited, so I decided to go back with the 80's and link back up on the powerline road after the 40's completed the canyon.
I didn't suffer any carnage, however there was one bent slider from the first 80 doing the waterfall.
No pics, have some video, but nothing of the rigs. Was too busy stacking rocks and trying not to step into knee deep swamp mud to get pics or vid.
I'd like to go back once I get my sliders finished and my new rear locker installed and try the canyon.

As it turns out the bail out road is pretty torn up now too. I think the buggy guys take that way in to run upper Bronco. But most of it is just erosion from all the trucks over the years following the wash up and out.
It would have been after dark getting the 80's and Will through the canyon and out. As it was it took Mark and I a lot longer than I anticipated to get back to the pole line road. We didn't make it back to pavement until around 4:00 IIRC.
The pole line road is pretty rutted and the road back over to Lousetown Creek was torn up pretty bad. Could have something to do with the VORRA race they ran Saturday. Both roads were on the race route.

MAAAAN...I cant wait to wheel again!
Great trip. Here's some shots from the trip. Speaking of bent sliders, it is my R Metaltech slider is about 1/4-1/2" closer to the catalytic converter so I'm getting a pretty significant rattle. Any thoughts on a shop to bend it back?

I would call MetalTeck and see what they say. Be ready to send them some pictures, most likely he will send you a new one.
Thanks for the pics.
