After running Gila Monster, Joey led us over to Cheap Trick.  This wash is like Gila Monster with multiple lines over the obstacles up until the waterfall.  We did manage to find a bypass around the waterfall on the way out so you can avoid it, but what fun would that be?

The first little play area.  Scott made it over the rocks fine, but that big rock in front of his bumper just wouldn't cooperate.

Eventually he got his Jeep to a point where he could no longer continue trying to turn around the rock.  So we hooked a strap to his bumper and pulled him and the rock forward a bit.  Eventually we rolled the rock aside.

I chose the line that went around the rocks, first there was a big hole you needed to cross while turning to the left.  Once I got positioned I proceeded thru the hole and up the hill.
