    Hell Hole, I have spent many a year fishing and canoeing there. I have never made the run on the 4x4 road though. I have no lockers, chances of making it down and back?

    Okay guys, now that the Slick Rock trip is in the books, we can start looking forward to this trip.

    We'll be headed up early Saturday morning and running the trail Saturday morning, then camping Saturday night at the end of the trail. Then Sunday morning we'll head back out the same way we came in.

    I'm out as well. Just a little too far and this wedding is draining any extra money I had. Have fun guys! BTW, if anyone is going to be near Niagara Rim on 4th of July weekend let me know. I'm heading up to my cabin which is 30 min from the trail and would be down to meet up.

    Yeah yeah, it was either a family trip or me being selfish and go on this trip. Having a one income home sucks!

    It's cool man. Family first. You'll notice I'm throwing razberries from the sidelines because I'm not going either - Boy Scout campout with my son that weekend.

    But then again Jason did the same for the Slick Rock trip :p

    But in all honesty, shit happens. It's all good. Offroading and camping takes second to a lot of other things in my life.
