A few of us from the North American Soft Roaders group on Facebook planned a short trip to our local OHV park for some time behind the wheel on some trails. We've been watching the rain all week hoping for the best. We ended up with 2-3 inches of rain the day before the trip. Our original group of 10+ dwindled down to seven of us, including:
Me - 2013 Subaru Forester w/ Cooper Discoverer AT3s - Recovery
Josh - 2014 Subaru Forester XT w/ Geolandar ATS - Trail lead
Ron - 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek w/ General Grabber AT
Kevin - 2015 Subaru Forester XT - stock
Nicole and JD - 2015 Subaru Forester XT - stock
Mohu and crew - 2011 Ford Escape AWD w/ AT tires
Dan - ZJ Cherokee w/ Rough Country lift and mud-terrains - Recovery
I met up with Josh at the Park at 8AM and this is what we saw (Northeast corner of the park near the east door):

I will later return to this spot to attack it later.

One of the guys was having trouble finding the park. I had to drive out to the main highway to retrieve him and told Josh to send the group down into the trail. We were going to play catch up.

Unless you had mud-terrains, your tread didn't matter:
