I hope he tried Mickey's and not Devil's...

Here he is attempting Devil's Hwy. Wow it looks crazy difficult!

They said there was oil in the water making it extra slick. This is CJ's virgin trip with the new 1UZ-FE Lexus 8cyl conversion. He has plans to reduce wheel hop and axle wrap. No doubt he will return someday to defeat this one!

The video is 5 mins long. If you don't have time, at least skip to the 3:25 min mark and watch his final attempt!!

After attempting Devil's Hwy, the group moved on to Mickey's Hot Tub

Again CJ was the only one who attempted it and he made it!

This is the only video the guys brought back. It is very short so I just uploaded the raw version of it:

Crawling and the Devil's Hot Tub don't go together. It seems to always be a game of speed and luck.

The trail continues on slick rock for a while with a lot of steep descents and climbs.

A couple optional obstacles remain including The Escalator and Tip Over Challenge.

Jon was the only one who attempted The Escalator and he went straight up it without any trouble! Here are the only pics the guys brought back:





And that was it for Hell's Revenge!

Back in town I was having a nice relaxing day. Spent some time walking around down town. There are some cool gift shops and stores.

Very common to find random Toyota Land Cruisers all over the place...



Looks like we've got rain come'n!
