    sounds like you need to take a trip to AOP.

    honestly not sure you can make it to the trailhead of GWT in 2wd though.

    I hope you do seriously. I just know and have done AOP and it’s no joke. Chocco is much more mild.

    Chocc in general. AOP is a much more difficult park.

    chocco blue trails are about what the trails to get to the trails at AOP are

    there honestly aren’t many difficult trails at chocco that a Tacoma is realistically capable of doing

    You really can't compare ratings from Park to Park, you can't compare trail ratings from one trail to the next with in the same park most of the time. If you go to AOP with a 2wd you will need a good winch for sure.
    I broke a CV, bent a rim and cut 3 tires at AOP all on the same trip. The trail I bent a rim on the guy behind me broke his ring gear in the rear end. GWT trail is a challenge if you have 4wd and full armor. Any time you are at AOP you need to be prepared for damage.
    Choccolocco is the best park to learn to wheel, AOP is a place to get crazy. Choccolocco has a lot of easy, medium, hard and crazy trails and you get to decide if it is something you want to do. Some trails at AOP once you start them there is no turning around, like dropping into trail 41.

    At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Olga was located near latitude 26.3 North, longitude 93.2 West. Olga is moving toward the north-northeast near 18 mph (30 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue with an increase in forward speed during the next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of Olga should move over the northern Gulf coast late tonight or early Saturday and then move through the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys later Saturday through Sunday.

    Reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds are now near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Olga is expected to merge with a cold front and become a post-tropical low with gale-force winds during the next few hours before the center reaches the Gulf coast.

    Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km) mainly to the northeast of the center. Satellite wind data and surface observations indicate that a large area of gale-force winds is occurring to the west of the cold front that is currently just west of Olga.

    GWT was mostly a joke. Just showing the different extremes of “blue” trails. Heck, I think rubicon at Chocco is a black.
