Slickrock isnt bad in the rain. The bad part is the wet sand sticking to your tires between slick rock sections. But if you get on a spot with lots of tire marks (like TOC) it becomes super slick.

I was surprised how little the rain affected the slick rock, keep in mind it wasn't a deluge....but like Dave said, it was the wet sand on the tires causing slipping. But after a little burning off, the tires gripped and up you went.
Down....was a little slicker, but not that much.

Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.
Even though I'm battling some pretty heavy Post Moab Blah's I figured that it was my turn to post up some pics. Here are some from our "VX Only" run on Seven Mile rim:
MeowMix's very first off-road obstacle.....EVER.
BigSwede and his Moab Camo RS
A Pride of Proton's
Whitney flexing out the Runner
BigSwede's Isuzu logo almost level
Sue getting squeezed
MeowMix flexing out
Seven Mile Rim parking lot
Billy on crack
Surrounded by Proton's
More to come from other trails later.
