Our group of 5 trucks had a great day on Yansing gulch (formerly chinamans gulch). @J1000 @justin4045 @Hulk and @Doughboy joined me, weather was quite warm with slight rain in the afternoon. Everyone got hung up at some point, received some new dents and scratches, sliders were used but we had no major issues.
For trail math: We had 4x 80 series and a 40, 4 trucks on 35s and 1 on 33s, 2 trucks with diesel engines and 2 trucks with only rear lockers.
As always, thanks to everyone involved and to Matt, Jimmy and Dan for helping take pics with my camera!

Love the pics, that is such a fun trail and looks like you all had bunches of it.
Sad I missed that.

Nice work. Nice pics. Good to see people giving it a go.

Wish I could have made it. We were in the Walden area scouting elk for a leftover cow tag we have.

Looks like a great day! I recall a few of those obstacles from the last time I ran this trail...maybe 10 years ago...and they certainly look more challenging now!
