I wish everyone could have been there to see it! This guy brought a 6" lifted full-size pickup on 35" BFG MTs on the run. He crossed a massive
waterfall/bridge that we constructed that was made out of hand-thrown rocks, and we captured the whole thing on video and digital photos.
I will have pictures available sometime this evening. But, it was insane. Sure he scrached the hell out of his lower door/rocker panel, and the
thing could have flopped sideways into the ditch beside the two downed boulders that we had to drive up and over, but it was the most insane fun many
of us have ever had down in Baja with our 4WDs. bajalou - 4-5-2006 at 12:26 PM

At night yet!!??Ken Cooke - 4-5-2006 at 03:59 PM
Sometimes nighttime is the only time to get the pickups and Jeeps up the canyon. The problem with lower Enmedio was that the place resembled a
minefield. Rocks of all sizes were just planted everywhere.
What made this trip such a success was how everyones teamwork helped Victor get the big truck down and back up the canyon at night with a minimal
amount of overall damage.
Here is John Vera getting ready to help Victor navigate the big truck up the pair of boulders in Canyon Enmedio...

Why is night time better, sometimes??

It's not better, but when you're surrounded by rocks, and your crew needs to get a decent nights sleep on the ground, it just feels better to get back
to a sandy wash where those sleeping bags won't feel so bumpy.
Also, we had to travel up Basketball Hill and not down a 170 foot embankment, so, turning around was our only option. Here is the crew that made it
all happen.

Thanks Ken. After reading your full trip report I feel bad about not being down there with you. I would never have thought a full size truck could
have made it, but what do I know. The fun factor was with you.Ken Cooke - 4-11-2006 at 10:57 AM
Here are 191 photos of the run. There are hundreds more waiting to be uploaded by everyone else who traveled along...
