Are all the gates open or do you have to go up the rock face to get in

The only trouble we had was with the Tj driver Jared...he was leading and took the wrong line going down a trail at Jose..got stuck axle deep in clay...so deep I couldn't winch him out, had to tug him because he was pulling me down the hill. Then he almost put it on it's side ...deep hole...fun fun fun...went to Bald...alot of snow still...I had problems getting back over the bridge at the creek, snow patch was 4ft deep but only wide enough to fit (barely) on the way in...with my tires being wider and being the third one thru on the way back it was too slushy so almost put it on it's side sliding off one side, had to ride the gaurdrail to get over...you had to be there, but only went about 1/4 mile on Rock Creek, the stock 4 door kept getting stuck...with the right rigs it could have been done...won't be going again for awhile...but Jose Basin..maybe next week again

Sounds like quite an adventure. I may be up for Jose this weekend. Did you guys do the rutted trail we did last year?
