    Define accessable

    I keep reading that it is. We might 2ant to have a solid backup that is free. I recently spent a lot of time mapping out the area. I'll see what looks good.

    DBB that we hit last year. I'm sure we can find a camping spot somewhere along the way and explore all the options leading off of them. I don't even mind making a trip before hand one weekend since I'm about 40 minutes away.

    There are loads and loads of camping around the RRG area. If this backcountry camping spot doesn't workout, there are plenty of spots around the area to camp besides the trail roads.





    Also, here is a video of the Spaas road you all are discussing.

    Also, this is the road I was looking for on the first RRG meet @mwc273 @beertimecontinuum . If you all remember us going through the tunnel, over this bridge, and turning left on the first year of the meet, then one of the road came to a dead end out that way (1:50 in this video) I just didn't know the name of the road. That was the road I was trying to find. Here is the video of the bridge and the way we were going.

    I love this stuff, its pure comedy. There's an "overlanding" show on youtube now for everything. Here's a Honda, who knows what, "overlanding" on 13's. And you all question your stock Tacoma's :lalala:

    Just watch that between 3:20-4:00. I think that guy is clinging everything under his vehicle every inch he moves lol

    and wtf are these dudes hand signals around 6:25 on? Do you really need a spotter to go through a mud hole? lol


    Edit: and what the heck is the dude at 8:05 wearing on the right? :D

    Maybe the videos will be a good way to find where the trails are, but about it.

    I would like to find the trail they show parking on that rock overlook. If so, we're camping there



    Edit:

    Looks like that overlook is off of cave fork road. Which is West of the trail we did last year on the DBB trail across from Koops Grocery store near Zoe and Zachariah

    He's on dirt bike.....wearing moto-x gear. No one in their right mind would ride a bike WITHOUT proper gear. When on a bike, you wear your "skidplates"..
