We headed down to White Wash last Wednesday. 8 of us went had a great day riding the Enduro Loop. Unfortunately at about 3 o'clock Mother Nature decided it was time for us to leave. Other then that we had a great ride. Few pictures if you want to take a look.

Where were you camped? I just returned from 8 days in the wash. I had the big white 5th wheel on the mesa overlooking the dunes. Were you with the group I came across heading out of 10mile Wash last Wed?
Awesome area. The Pickle is my new favorite trail; short but technical!

Picts are not working for me.
I was up there 2 or 3 weeks ago right after a big rain and the wash was fantastic.
But I do need to get back with someone that knows the area.
Seems I missed all the good stuff.

The amount of trails in the vicinity is crazy. Loads of narrow single and two-track going through slot canyons, washes, dunes.. Then there's the scenery and stuff like the old Missile Base, the Crystal Geyser and riding along the Green River. I spent 8 days there and still didn't hit everything..

Oh and as far as the weather last Wednesday, it really hit hard while we were toward the end of 10mile wash. My brother-in-law laid his bike down in a narrow channel of water and we had to dismantle it to drain all the water out. Mountain lion tracks everywhere in that wash.

We just drove down for the day. Were you the fifth wheel parked at the south end down on the bench above the dunes? If so we rode right by when the wind started really blowing.
I only saw a couple of guys on motorcycles, they were on Mary's trail and again in the tubes. Did you see us passing thru the upper parking lot at 10 mile? Yea the Pickle is a pretty tough spot in a jeep.

On Wednesday, there was my 5th wheel, my bro-in-law's Class-C and late in the day a white bus.. I had the big 43' 5th wheel and we (along with some bikes) were the only souls in the area. I was heading into 10mile Wash with some oil and supplies (on a red ATV) when I passed a large group of bikes coming out of the wash. Not sure how they didn't see my bro-in-law starting to make a fire about 2 miles from the Green River...
As for the pickle, we did it on a RAZR, my ATV and a few bikes.. Fun section of riding. We had two newbs first time out on ATV's (rentals) follow us into the pickle.. wow.... Fun times! :lol8:
