Sheep Creek 5/17/2010

Ok not sure why I posting this now bacause I am worn out and need a shower lol:willy_nilly:

We decided to go on a "Short" run to scout out Sheep Creek area to see if it is a good spot for a long "weekend" wheeling trip. Met up with Tony @ 5pm or so after we woke up the kids and pushed the wives out the doors. We made it to the trail head @ 630pm or so.

First time on this trail and it was great. ALOT of mud and ALOT of technical driving skill required as well as a good suspension. I heard my coils clank about 100 times and my lockers ratchet about twice that. We only had to winch twice and that was up hills.....well I made one hill but had to winch the other. Like Buffalo Mine the Jeep did great and to my surprise neither myself or Tony had any real issues. like state before this is a rough trail and not very fullsize friendly IMO.
Not in any order mind you

Thats a hella fun trail.. I've only had the chance to run it once. Since I can't remember how to get back there :)

My bronco decided to sytematiclly break everything on that run.. Oh the fun :)

[BLB]

This is not the kind of trail you want to do a shake down run on lol:smilielol5:

[Bronco85]

That is true.. Be ready for mud, mud and more mud... The year I was on it I was told it was dry.. Holy crap, there where hugh mud holes. :)

Looks like fun. Could you send me directions to the trailhead? Might have to add it to the list of trails to do this summer!
