    It runs east/west between Minnesota Bypass/C Street. It's basically lined up with 98th avenue ( if you're looking at a map ), just based on that. It's only accessible really from the Minnesota side though. You go North on Minnesota, exit at the Dimond/100th Ave ramp, you'll see it on the frontage approach to Dimond.

    If you do go down there watch out for the man holes we hit one in a car and it was destroyed. Also stay out of the swamp areas they are very deep.

    Yea. The Google Earth Photo is from early spring, so it looks WAY more muddy than it is at the moment. If you zoom in, you can see someone's Jeep (i think?) in the upper/right portion of the trail. Pretty funny.

    Picture taking went well, just got back from another shoot actually. Going out again tomorrow night for some sunset time lapses. Anybody think of a good place to shoot stuff like that where it's just drop dead gorgeous let me know, I'd love to get some new unused places dialed in. I think we're going to try and shoot from the top of the captain cook tomorrow night.

    Also, the 2nd pic from the bottom is where I got stuck. According to Russ I was very close though. I'm happy to announce I'm the proud new owner of a 16,000 pound tow strap. Headed to fire and fastener today to get some shackles for it.
