Seriously though, we yelled vigorously for you to stop - which you did. That's why it isn't any worse than the pics show. The real trick was extricating you from that boulder, but Corey did a great job coaching you over, and guiding you back onto a good line.

It was just myself and my father-in-law with no camera. I think I have some video of it, but haven't sorted through it. I have been there in December and the middle of the summer. It is like two different parks. The wet conditions make it feel like you are wheelin' on ice. Your pictures definitely give a good idea of how slick it was.

Coal Creek / Windrock Pics
Interesting shot of 35" MTRs next to 37" KM2s. When the vehicles weren't sitting side by side as in the below pic, the MTRs almost looked like they were the same size as the KM2s.
Lined up while we discuss which trail to wheel next. If I cross my eyes just right, it almost looks like the Jeep Green JK is spinning mud onto the white Rubi.
ckivy on the way up to the top of T15 with his new 37" KM2s.
Top of T15.
I often played the role of Trail Canary, but I "lost" the group several times during the ride.
Thought this was an interesting shot. Note the stock silver Unlimited in the background with stock tires/wheels - side looks pretty clean. Big difference compared to the side of the black UJK with the fender chop mod, and 37" KM2s (or for that matter, the Jeep Green Unlimited in the left of the pic with 35s and stock fenders).

We did!!! Corey was practically on his hands and knees begging you to stop.
Seriously though, we yelled vigorously for you to stop - which you did. That's why it isn't any worse than the pics show. The real trick was extricating you from that boulder, but Corey did a great job coaching you over, and guiding you back onto a good line.

We actually watched over you pretty well, and even let you know when you kept thumping this ledge with your bumper.

Just some final pics that I didn't have a chance to load lately (crummy Comcast internet was down for six days 
).
Scenic shot - colors were more vibrant up close, but you get the general idea.
Thick mud piled up inside the wheels.
Using the tire sidewall to climb through this section.
