Heavy flooding down all the washes resulted in drop-offs even on the smallest washes.
Steep drop-offs impact the rigs with small tires requiring dragging over the rocks and sand. Jeeps had no issues, but all the Toyotas had to drag
their bottoms. Most drop-offs were 2-3' two were 5+'. Going down was not problem but going up one Tacoma had to be winched to get up. After that issue
we found a go-around easier way up for that one for the following rigs.
Bad hill, BB hill, and other climbs were about the same as previous. En Medio crossing was about the same and was slow climbing over the boulders.
Nobody got stuck.
One thing I need to investigate is Jaquejel. Jaquegel looks like it is smooth sand as far as we could see from above on the traditional trail. That
would sure improve the drive time. I will investigate next fall.
Camping just south of Choabuzo in the En Medio wash was a pleasure. Next to the high bank out of the wind and plenty of firewood available. And
further south in En Medio there are similar camping places all the way until you exit the wash. En Medio wash exit was the easier than previous trips.
