Quirk Ridge....  makes for long day,  some backtracking,  worth the view though.

It is really dry out there right now, so as stocker friendly as that trail gets. Basically it is the 101 trail (if you take fisher west), except with a detour to quirk. Couple fun hills depending which way you tackle the trail, some muddy areas, but nothing that can't be driven around given how dry it is.

I know this trail was very difficult for those running the 101 some time back, but it has become doable again by stock vehicles and is completely passable when i ran it earlier in July.

What an amazing day today guys. A few challenging spots and some simply amazing scenery. Thanks to Jeff for letting me ride shotgun and get a chance to get out again.

PS. Colin got his jeep stuck but I still think it was just the Toyos not the driver :)
