Post by: Jrama on April 28, 2014, 11:54:24 AM: OK Sooo....

It will be wet out there... Trails are still pretty washed out from last year too! Deep ruts, higher ledges and obstacles and of course more water and more mud!
This all means that we can expect to get muddy my friends.!

*Big Dave - These are the type of runs that anyone is welcome on. However I would say that given the weather conditions this would not be an Ideal first time out run despite running easier trails. that said if you drive a rubicon or something capable I would reccomend coming out! You will likely have a blast

We will be looking to keep a good pace throughout the day, as in spend our time Jeepin! if you have young children , problem pets or other distractions please leave them at home where they will have a better time.

Required

A/T Tires
Tow points, straps and the like. If you don't have reasonable tow points...no one will tow you out...If you have obnoxious tow points you are hooking your self up.
Good mechanical condition vehicle
Good Attitude

Highly Recommended

Mud Tires
31" +

Post by: Jrama on May 03, 2014, 07:15:34 PM: Good Run Today.

I thank everyone who came out, it was a good time!

some of the washouts and water created some interesting conditions and impassable sections of trail.

Some trail work is needed to make one of the mud sections along fish west doable by a rig not on 39" Swampers and 400hp. Until then running the "101" trail may be pretty much a no go for most folks.
