    Great trip this weekend, Loon Lake to Wentworth Springs on the trail. Got some loooong looks from the built-up Jeepers on the trail seeing a late model taco traveling the same obstacles as they do... I just tell them the only difference is - "It's dependable, reliable, goes for over 250,000+ miles, and is worth damn near as much as you paid for it after 5 years!" lol

    That would be one hell of a Subaru... I'd pay money just to see one get through Gate Keeper, Alligator Pit, and Whale Bones let alone the other obstacles! Watched several built Jeeps break this weekend on that trail

    All you got to do is take the easy way out and go around hard Obstacles. Not hard at all!! Oh and the gate keeper was a lot harder before they blew it up
