    ahhhh gotcha..


    well Christina lake will be fun on those tires! haha there is one spot that is real rocky..but i think you'll be okay. And the river crossing is kinda just scarey cause you can't see shit haha

    Shoshone..do at your own risk..haha Im not saying it won't do it. But you'll really ahve to watch your lines is all.

    Cool. Well since i'm only a half hour or so from both of the trails I'll be checking them out and deciding whether or not i'll bow out of the shoshone. But sounds like i'll be down for christina!

    Yea Christina has more..like.."real" obstacles..i guess..sorta..two has a by pass. or more of just an easier line. And then another is just..a hill with lots of lines. Who knows what it'll look like this go arond with the run off and all.

    Shoshoe you will be able to drive all the way to the very highest point. 10,500 feet. It'll be over looking the lake. from there you could walk down..bout a mile or two i think. Be a hike up back to the truck. But there is like no room at all to just turn around and come back. If you start down..you go the whole way.

    But can't hurt to go look :D haha

    Me too man!


    Marc this is where the trail is more or less "easy" to. Then the decent down things get rougher.

    This is like the first down hill part into shoshone

    here is the bottom of one of the meaner spots on christina. This is coming out of christina

    Then this is another one. I didn't go up this. Jon did. Had to literially catch air to do it though lol But i went down it.

    This is the ledge right after the river crossing. I didn't go up it either. Jon hits pretty hard and is on 35s lol I came down it and its the only place i have really ever slammed my sliders. Sorry for the shit quailty. I shoulda upload to youtube :eek:

    Sounds good! Whenever I go out and check on the trails i'll be sure to post pictures in here :) are you planning on getting down to either of the lander trails before august?

    Nice pics, i've seen those before somewhere. I think in the thread you posted from the trip when it was just you and Jon.

    Yea, i'll just have to make sure i'm on good lines if I want to get in and out with little scrapage...

    Ive thought about it..just to make sure everything is okay again..idk if i will. Im planning on going to Goose lake already. Plus a few trips to the Big Horns.

    And i didn't get the job i wanted to so i might not even be able to do any of that as i could end up working in AK with my dad.

    Bad form but your point is made ;) I have enough work put into the truck that actually make it able to do christina and Shoshone. Back to your threat, it gave me an idea. I wonder if a dude could make a cheap air tank with a pressure cooker...?

    ill have to monitor my schedule after june to find out exactly whats going on, atm i have the july 16th to 23rd off which means if the project is still going I would be off next august 6th to 13th which have me arriving at the second leg, Im kind of shocked its only a 12hr drive to Powell


    this is also dependant on my schedule if im going to Tunisia than Ill be able to take the whole month off :p
