    This just in I stumbled across this video from July of this year. I'm 95% sure this is the washout from my photos. It looks way more eroded but there are lots of things I see that are unmistakable from what I saw when I was there. Still plenty doable but depending how your trucks are setup it make take some more planning

    It should be a good time. A front bumper will definitely help with regards to damage protection. One of the reasons I have one is to handle the shit nature has done to the trail. Washouts can be insane.

    So the article was based on a 3 day run and 450km which is half of the loop I believe. I have the map of what they did on my computer. I’ll upload it at some point.

    Here is a link to the map they used in that article. You can compare it to the one in gravel travel.
