    Yup. But that trail looks more fun.

    FYI in case anyone is looking in the future, just after Dorrington there are a few turn outs on the right that have some short spurs that are camp worthy. Patches of snow but not bad. The snow quality wasn’t worth braving the cold overnight for me. Maybe after the next storm though.

    Are there any off road meet ups here in the 209 area? I always see meet ups in SoCal on YouTube?

    Seems like I've been busy doin shit this whole winter... No one else wants to come and play.

    Albeit... everything I've been doing has been maintenance and improvement shit on my truck and @RobertsT4R... but sooner or later we'll hit the trails again.


    ... "King"... all I did was start the thread.

    if you want to get a Rubi trip after the snow melts hit me up. Hopefully late April.

    Fordyce if you want to run probably September.
    I went threw the first water crossing when it was at 300cfm and it wasn’t bad, but thank god I had a “Dorkle” because the water was Almost over my hood.

    Guess it's like people driving over flooded roads in the news. Thought maybe it made a mess, but better than overheating.

    My goals, this year, are Rubicon and Slick Rock. I'm doing them one way or another. But would prefer to have lots of people with me to pull my ass out (and laugh at my stupidity) if I get in trouble.

    Not sure my truck is currently equiped to do Fordyce. But willing to try that one too (if Fordyce Veterans think it's feasible).

    Can I watch? :)
    My truck is for hauling firewood, travel, can't afford any errors or ouches.

    I'd like to ride along or spot if there is a way back to my truck. Can supply beer where needed.
