    Charouleau Gap trip report and pics!

    Victor (VCamilo) with Stephanie and I met up in Oracle, Az. this morning. The clouds were in the sky and it was cold (by southern Arizona standards). As we were airing down at the trail entrance a light snow began to fall. Not enough to stick. There was no dust toay...just mud!...and rocks!
    So lets get started...
    Somewhere near the start

    Next obstacle was "the step". I gave it several tries but was denied!
    The pics do it no justice...it is steep and kept pitching my front drivers side tire into the air.
