    You bet. I'm sure we can figure something out. I definitely want to check it out a bit. I'm still pretty confident it'll be similar to independence pass like last falls meets. Should be do able in stock rigs.

    This thread needs a bump. I want to see more pictures or video of any of the trails lined up for this trip, but if I can suggest something, I would like to see Leg 2 footage of some sort.

    The 3 vid "hummer" series is pretty good. Gives a pretty good idea of what we are up against. Skid plates bashing on rocks and lots of bugs. :D

    BTW Monte, those vids are in the wrong order in the OP

    Hey Travis, I said it before but every time I do it gets lost in this thread so I'll just chime in again. I'll be hitting christina lake trail for sure as soon as the roads clear up up there and taking as much video and pictures as I can :D. I was up there this weekend actually but the road is still "closed" :rolleyes: Some good snow blockage still...

    This will be the first place I post the update on the leg two trails!

    Cheers.

They said you could do it easily in 2 days if all you did was drive..i know we won't be..but if for some odd reason it does go super quick and we have a day or two extra..i still vote the Kokopeli..:D haha
