railman, thnx for putting this up, I never was able to get back on last night. :icon_cheers:

I assume it won't be as challenging as Turkey Bay, but it is a good ride regardless. Consider it a change of scenery! One of these days I will try to explore some of the other trails up there & see what there like. :dntknw:

Hope you can make it SVT, I still owe you & railman an LBL run, I just don't trust my tires to go that far! ;brownbag;

I think you will be alright, I doubt you will get into anything we can't get you out of. The only concern would be with a manual tranny, you will be on the clutch quite often which could be hard on it in 2wd. You got an auto or manual? If you have a manual, how 'bout removing the front driveshaft so you could run 4-low?

You should be alright then, there's nothing super challenging, just some tight mntn trails after you drop down off the mntn. I hope it's not to tame for ya'll, but it's a good ride.
