    Oooohhhh you bought one if those. I thought I was a used one.


    Yea just don't use the canvas and the RTT will bolt right up.

    And I would just cut holes. Once you have the tent is use brass rings or something to run the bolts through. I'm going to get canvas sides for mine maybe this summer and do that.

    Hmmm ill see what I can find.

    I am finding that it's a short trail. Only 8 miles one way. So I think we will end driving around several of the trails back there anyways. Or we could hike around.

    Never mind that was the wrong trail I was looking at :facepalm:

    make sure you guys post up the .kmz file after you've traced it, I want to see the trail as well! :spy:

    I never did clarify, I can bring my stock rig on Goose Lake, right? No sliders? :confused:

    Okay the trail cross right at the mouth if the lake at the steam. It's hard to see but it runs along the west side of the stream as you crossed it earlier. Then the trail is on the easy side of the lake. Like right on the edge.

    I think so. Ben is doing the tracing not me.

    I'm more of a look at the basic map..then figure it out when your there guy :D I like getting lost :p not like you can't always just turn a round. But this trip will need better planning.

    Gage and I will go scout the goose lake trail out in June or July but yes you should be fine.

    Love it. I'm sold. Seems simple enough to me.

    I just don't know if it'll be long enough..but if we camp at the lake we can do some hiking after setting up camp too.
