This is the first turn at the top of the Big Sluice.  The mini-mog had no problems, but the larger vehicles required both tenacity and driving skill to negotiate these obstacles.  Note the flex at the hitch in Mike' trailer.  The trailer is up so high it almost is hitting the spare tire!!  The drop off is about 4.5 feet.

We passed a number of rigs with broken trailer hitches, typically metal fatigue from the constant twisting punishment delt by the Rubicon.
