    Think that guy was going for clout. People were crowded around even before he went into it.

    You must have gone in from the east entrance. I went it from the west and got stopped by some snow banks before I could get to that spot. I walked the trail and found a group of jeeps doing a run to clear the snow and trees from the trail. This was on Friday last week.

    You should be able to do it with them 35's, but you can't hammer down there.

    I came on on the west side, I think you have the directions backwards. but I know which spot you're talking about.

    here's what we saw a few years back:

    Yep.. that looks like the spot where I ran into the jeepers. Glad you made it all the way through! Just to clarify, by "west entrance", I meant the entrance near cabbage station.

    Has anyone here ran the sourgrass trail off boards crossing rd in dorrington. I did the first few obstacles a week ago then my buddy wanted to turn around. I’m just curious if it gets harder or easier.

    what was the last obstacle you guys hit?

    its a pretty short trail. From what I remember, after the slab section, you get to a river crossing. its not difficult, we took a relatively stock 2nd gen across it (though he was dragging his bumper on the way out). The flow / water level can make it more difficult.


    After that crossing, there is a big ditch with rocks but passable with a lift and tires, then its pretty tame after that until you hit the dead end.

    We just went to the large up hill rock slab, so maybe we were already close. It looked hard but it’s relatively easy. The lines are there.

    yeah that water crossing in the pic i posted is just after that rock slab section. I can't remember how far but not very far and its a relatively easy dirt road from the slab to that crossing. And the crossing isn't really that bad. You'll probably be fine. That 2nd 3rd gen taco was stockish from what I remember (stock height maybe new tires) and made it past the crossing.

    All of them.
    I just went a few days ago. Made it to the water crossing in 2wd. It's short but nice to run down and set up a cookout on the water.
