Even though Jack
brought along a portable shower bag, nothing beats complete
submersion in cool refreshing water. Saturday couldn't come
soon enough. While it cooled down nicely in the evenings to around
50 degrees, the 90+ degree days had taken it's toll and we were all
ready for some heat relief. We cruised up to Steve's house and
he made us a small map to find the lake and we were off. It's
roughly 15-20 miles away on dirt roads so we took the trail rigs.
According to Steve the water level on the lake was low which exposed
some good rocks to crawl on, he was right.

The rocks down by the
lake were literally like sandpaper, even more abrasive than the
rocks in Moab. We were able to climb vertical walls and ledges
with no tire slip whatsoever.
 

It was pretty amazing
the stuff we could climb, we put on a pretty good show for everyone
camping on the beach.
We finally settled on
a line off to the right although it still took some tire spin at
points to get climb.
 

More rock formations
further away from the lake.
 
 
 
 
This last part was
pretty hairy, you would start to endo only to have your rocker panel
hit the rock to the drivers side.
