Did you run Pleasant Canyon? How was the condition of the trail? Were you in front of Will or behind Will when he flopped his truck on Defense Mine?

was that on the bypass going downhill? There is a optional rocky climb to the left of the picture?

Our group went thru there several weeks ago, it was a great area. Sorry for the roll but glad no one was hurt and you got the truck out.

Correct going downhill on the bypass for waterfall 1 -which the Disco Shrek had climbed on the way up Defense Mine- we actually took an alternative route lead by Chuck from NCLR which was a fun rock crawl through a gulley.
The owner of shrek is a very experienced and just made a mistake on the way back down. What was impressive was the recovery operation (difficult because of the slope, terrain etc) and of course the trail clean up afterwards.

I ended up running the first half of Pleasant Canyon twice after escorting another LR back to Ballarat. I had read the earlier reports regarding trail conditions. Chicken Rock required some careful wheel placement- and was more challenging than i remember. ( There was talk that the log bridge might flex a little- but did not experience this) The trail from the cabins down the mountain was rocky and rough but not too bad. (i have done the trail in reverse after some winter storms a few years ago when there were quite a few rocks and boulders on the trail- that was difficult and i managed to get myself high centered)
