    Probably not, but maybe I'll swing an overnight trip somewhere on Saturday (or maybe Friday and Saturday) and hit it on the way back to the Bay.

    Signal peak is doable as the mud pit dried up a bit, it did get moved from moderate to hard on alltrails.

    Sounds like we need to do a run, 35s and lockers will help, but there are def some tricky parts now. 3 years ago Signal Peak was a cake walk.

    I've scratched my diff on this one, maybe bigger tires would help.

    Posey rests for a day(stiff back) and Casali calls another shutout and homers. That’s 11 shutouts for the team so far this year.

    I cant tell if thats the spot where the boulder is at. You either go left or right around it. Its kissed a few people on here. Don. Dj. Otis. My buddy O.

    Signal peak isnt bad. I want to do it and just let the truck cruise up. Come to think of it, i havent done it since lockers and 35.

    I think Kap is working with that one. Casali is really becoming Buster’s replacement.

    I remember the boulder, zero problems there. Signal Peak circa 2017/2018 was moderate, hard if you took the short cut. It changed a lot since then, I think a lot of built up rigs dug it up when the snow was melting, it's much more eroded and a lot more tricky parts. It's still very doable, but challenging enough without bashing your doors in, plus it's close to your 2nd house.
