With you and slimbeam, I'd be down for it. A small group of experienced drivers that all have equipped rigs (read winches, snatch blocks, and know how to use them) and it would be fine.

The problem is that I'm still working on a way to put pontoons on my JK. If I can't do that, I'll have to get a VERY long snorkel to get there in time (I'm in Iran). ;)
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

I'll come, if it gets too deep we can allways turn around.  Should be fun! ;)  Besides, flooding my interior will help keep my feet cool in all this hot weather.
I just can’t resist a good mud hole!  🤦

I'd be up for going out again tomorrow...but don't think I can do fisher east.  Got the 31"s but no winch or lift.  Would just be tow straps.

 i would run fisch east with a few well equipped jeeps too. even when its 'not that bad' i've seen it pretty nasty.  i wouldn't want to run it to be honest.  for you guys itchin to run it, i'll be leading an open run in the fall (november)  and you can see why;  in november all the bad stuff is frozen over so its not too bad. its different in the summer!!!!  plus i hate mud

so i vote for sylvester trail. don't know if i've run, can't remember the names of half of them.  i'd love to run shortcut to valley trail and see if it still pops out on fisch west, but i don't even know if it does nemore.........
regardless i'll be at the store 915

If a couple rigs are considering a more relaxed, less stress trail as it appears to be unfolding to maybe two groups, I'd be on for that. I'm not interested in mud since the third grade and would love to relax, enjoy the outdoors and take some photos. If that's an option with a couple others I'll head down from Red Neck Deer.

Something to consider: Esks vs. Skanks at 5:30 pm. I'm an Esks ticket holder and I intend to be home to watch this game from Calgary on TSN. That would have me leaving Cochrane by 3:30.
I'd rather be dragging a club than clubbing in drag

with how dry maclean is right now those holes are STICKY mud i hit a few holes on another trail on my 33 boggers and just made it because of the sheer fact the mud is so thick but the boggers pulled me through
