Hatfield/McCoy trip 18th through 24th

[forgiven]

No foolin about being tricky while slick! With a couple riders we had I was sincerely concerned if we were getting out. Hit a downhill with both binders and picking up steam so going back up that was a no go. Then we come to a real slick deeply rutted uphill. After about an hour and a half of multiple attempts and tugging we made it out. Early finish for the day. Think we are gonna keep this group on the 150 and below single track. The GG did actually fall on its side one time due to lack of traction, but overall the bike was awesome. I will say the consequence for going off the trail can be dire which if I knew I would have not brought the family out. Should have known being on and in the mountains but it did not dawn on me. The Smokey's are beautiful though.
