We spent the July 4th weekend at Rimrock, 2 cj's, 2yj's and 2 Rubicons. We ran Memorial Meadows up friday and down Blue Slide after a stop at Blue lake and the Blue Slide lookout.

After Narrow Neck we went back to camp and then ran Pucker Ridge.

We had a great weekend, one blown tire, one broken valve stem. Other than a little traffic jam on Blue Slide it was a good weekend.

Good stuff, I recognize those spots, but Otter slide or Pucker ridge must be really groomed or opened up if you guys ran it with the windshields up?

I wish I could wheel there again. One of my fav's

I've been hearing reports from the Tamers that they ran a cubic ass ton of trails out there during the 4th. Hopefully I can go next year.

Great pics, Butcher knife is one of my favs there so far but I haven't been on all the trails yet.

Got anymore pics of Pucker? It's one that I've wanted to run (sort of) for a while now. I can never seem to find to many pics of it. Probably for good reason. Whats your take on it? I've heard both ends of the scale. From "don't do it, certain death, nearly impossible"...to "not that big of a deal, not as bad as all of the hype." Any advice/info on it?

I have ran it a couple times in a mildly built CJ7...didn't feel like it was that big of a deal. I say stay on the trail & have fun

I suppose it does depend on what types of trails you normally run :eeek:

The trail itself isn't difficult. It's more the pucker factor than anything. You really have to be confident in your rig and your ability to drive. Cause if you mess up, it's a long way down. The trail is very narrow, and the dropoffs are very extreme.

Here's a pic of my rig in 2007 after the off camber section, before the otter slide. No room for error.
