    I think running it from the side with the sign is easier. A lot easier easing down obstacles than climbing them

    I have ran it once and started at the sign. Most of the hard obstacles were uphill. Case in point lol

    Id like to go with people who know the lines or who have ran it before so if you plan a trip out there let me know I live about an hour away.

    Oh geez. Good to be cautious at night, as darkness adds a pretty crazy mental element, but that isn't a bad area.

    Trying to think where that is but it doesn’t look familiar. It’s been a while since I’ve run it

    It's closer to the end of the trail. Probably 80% through if you start at the sign.

    This was absolutely painful to watch. literally used maxtrax whenever they had a tire slip. If i remember correctly, they were scared to scratch a wheel lol

    What are you doing up this late/early?! lol

    Not shore if serius...

    They are commercial overlanders. Minimal trail experience but tons of experience hosting parking lot meets. They bit off more than they could chew. And yes @Nimble9 it was mentioned how much they scratching their wheels.

    @EatSleepTacos
    Our trip to Potts we ran it both ways over the long weekend.
