Here was the worry....
I had to get out and scout out what I was really seeing and determine a route through it. There was a deep and steep dropoff on the driver side. The road was narrow to beging with, and as it exited the wash this was going down into, it got even narrower. OH... and the wash on the driver side got even deeper on the driver's side just off the road...

Michele decided that after she had white-knuckled an earlier descent that she would watch and photograph this little one.



BUT while I was worrying, she found a bug that was more interesting !










Yes, these next two photos show the front passenger tire off the ground.






BUT McBeast worked through this with no problems.

One worry we had at a number of places during this trip was whether the side steps would cause a ground clearance issue. I kept watching, and I don't think we ever got within 6 inches of hitting them.
