Woke up to no snow so Ton and Dang were trying to come up with a strategy to get in without trashing their hiking shoes. When Ron stepped outside in his already trashed boots he realized the vehicles moving around and people walking had turned the ground into mush.
We decided to bail out of there while the getting was good. It was quite a drive out it was the first time we used 4WD low and it was touch and go for a moment. By the time we covered the 1/4 mile to the paved road the truck was completely covered in mud. After attending a couple of talks and walking around in the less muddy expo area we headed to Flagstaff. The first order of day was to knock some of the mud off the truck. After about $40 in the coin slot we managed to knock about 200lbs of mud off the truck and headed in for the night.
