Success at Deep Six!

The sixth annual Shocker Run “Deep Six” was held on February 23rd, 2013 at Rausch Creek Off-Road Park and was a rousing success!  Almost 50 trucks rolled into the foggy R.C. parking lot and split into groups.  The conditions were wet & wild, which made for an interesting day on the trails.  Besides low visibility, and cold temperatures, there was shifting snow and thick mud that had to be dealt with.   A few slick recoveries were in order, especially late in the day when the groups were getting their last trails in.  I know a couple trucks had some serious pucker moments on the edge and in some deep mud.
