See my triplog for the previous day, March 31, 2017 for more details. This is the photoset for the following day...April 1, 2017, when we retraced our steps because House Rock Valley road was solid sticky mud from Buckskin Gulch TH to Wire Pass.

I put my 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk in 4WD and still was fishtailing....because my treads and wheel wells were solid with sticky clay! Plan B then....redo Buckskin Gulch to Wire Pass, and then travel downstream in Buckskin Gulch until we decide to turn around...which was at the first pool of water we got to, about a mile south of the Wire Pass confluence.

It was worth redoing....the day was sunnier, though the wash and the slot way more wet (with water still running) than the day prior.
