    Hey just a idea but how bout we hit up a trail not to far from M.E.T instead. I was up that way and there is still snow on the trail but with help, we can get thru I think. I will be camping there memorial weekend so I will report back on more current conditions after I get back. The trail has 3 obstacles. The first 2 have bypass and the 3rd will have to be traversed by all, but its doable. We have taken stock FJC (no sliders, no lift, street tires) thru before. Just have to take bypass and on last obstacle some rock stacking. You might scratch up your wheels and bang here and there but it is a fun trail for beginners and seasoned wheelers. Just thought I throw that idea out there. The trail even connects you back onto M.E.T if we so choose. The trail in located in Kyburz. Let me know what you guys think.

    Ok. I will report back on trail conditions after this weekend. I also am wondering if I could bring a fellow NORCALFJ member. Seth knows hims as well. His name is Grif and he will be deploying in July I believe and I would like to include him in on a trail run before he leaves. He has toytech lift, sliders and bfg km tires so his rig is more than capable.

    Pics below are from last year's run in June.

    Yeah man bring him along The pictures look good. That looks like a nice beginner trail for the less equipped rigs that are coming on this run.

    Yeah it will be a good cherry popper for the new guys "Steven ;)" to get there trucks on the rocks and see how well these trucks preform off road in near stock form.
