A little rain wont make it hurt it just makes it funner see you at 830 at best buy

outbkjack you have a p.m.

how was the trip? wish i could have made it down for it!

i dont really know of any "jeep trails" around this area. i do know of some good roads that will take you in to some nice lakes. and some good roads on the mountin. plus a few places to just go play. most of the roads are snowed in this time of the year. but snows fun too!!! untill you get stuck

Trail was fun. Very stock freindly trail minus steprails and flaps. I want to run up hill next time.

The trail difficulty was just as described in the book. As Kevin mentioned it before the trip, we ran the trail high to lower elevation. The gravity helped us go through many sections much easier and faster. Most of it was rocky, and lots of puddles...as you can see in the pictures. (will be posted soon.)

The timing could not have been any better. It was cold but not extremely. There was no drop of rain. And, probably no one else camping anywhere near us. There were even firewoods piled up and waiting for us.

When moving fast w/ a very small group, you an get the the campground in 1 hour from where the trail sign was. And, about 1.5 hours from the campground to the end of the trail.

This trip happened to be one of the most stress free camping trip I have done.

Thanks everyone for joining, and making this trip fun.

Sorry I missed saying bye to some of you on the way out after airing up but we had to get home as soon as we could.

I just wanted to thank AKIO for organizing a great year end run (for me at least) ...... like he said great stress free trail and great camping.......my wife and I had a great time.

Now to start buffing that complementary pinstriping out due to Mr. and Mrs. Manzanita

Great to meet everyone as well....hope to see you again soon

Pictures!

Please let me know if anyone wants larger size pictures of particular ones. I uploaded the pictures for the screen size only because that makes uploading much faster.

Glad to hear that... It was great to have you both for this trip.

Nice Pics! Thanks for sharing!!!

We both had a GREAT time......except for my wife not feeling well Sun morning from probably my BBQ cooking Sat night. LOL She was better by lunch though. So Akio how was that burger? ;-)

By the way I apologize to all for the hour delay in getting my battery situation taken care of. Andy thanks for the help wrenching out the old and slapping in the beautiful new red top. And Ron thanks for the jump that got me down the road and to the red top.

Great trip guys.

I only got a few pics. Got Mud?

Thank's to Akio for the great planned trip, & thanks to those of you who posted your "Pics".

The pics are terrific...

I look forward to seeing you there next trip.

Thanks to Huey, Akio, and Brian for helping us get off the trail on the first night. We had a good time as well and my 4 year old loved it.

You are welcome Slamson for helping you out with the bad battery situation. I was picking my son up from daycare when mine gave out but mine wouldn't even hold a charge.

Polar Bear, I would be up for a little snowboard trip. We are going this weekend to Northstar and it will be Zachary's first lesson. Let me know if you can put a trip together.

Ahem.. You are welcome...

My bad, I got Xtopher's name wrong; a special thanks to you as well. :p

That Burger was very good. Thank you.
Don't worry about that... We still had a plenty of time to get to the campsite in day light. It was also better to take care of it sooner than trying to jump start it on the trail every time you stop the motor.
You liked the mud, didn't you? If Kevin somehow made Mike (Tolley) finish his Samurai, they might run the same trail going uphill in the spring. I think the mud will be even better then...
It might be a bit difficult to tell, but those are hands of 2 girls...Catherine's & Nancy's. :rolleyes: (Yea...Catherine was the one who collected them all, though. )

Mud fun! Matt likey mud!! Matt 100% in for reverse run of trail next year!

Per mikes last post the sami is going up for sale.Wife wants a murano so he gets her pathfinder to modify. He realized the sami is to small of a vechile for the family to wheel in. I told him to make up his mind . I want to run this trail up hill and also get ted out there next time. It was a fun trip. Will have to make it an early spring trip.

Cool... I wonder what kind of plans Mike has for it... :rolleyes:
