Roger that

 

Has anyone done woodpecker?

 

There is, or at least used to be, an upper and lower. The lower was basically a wash and extremely difficult. Upper was doable in lightly modded rigs with a little skill and patience. That was 10 years ago. From what I understand through acquaintances, other trails in the area have become much more popular.

 

@JeepAndrew did you do woodpecker last time in Florence?

 

Negative sir, it's on my to-do list. I did run through a small portion of Upper many years ago but don't remember much of it.

 

What was the trail you just ran besides Elvis?

 

Jackhandle. The tacomas could run it without too much trouble I think. There's only one sketchy obstacle that needs some good spotting.

 

Thats it! The 1st squeeze I assume?

Seem fairly accurate?

 

Yep, a little spotting should make it not too bad. We should run it and Elvis! You can see the crawler obstacle I flopped my Jeep on (there's a bypass).

 

Well i was wondering about woodpecker, but im starting my research

 

Pretty accurate, the obstacle that the Jackass Bypass goes around is where I broke my front axle and flopped my Jeep.

 

Looks doable. Perhaps we need a very small group to go scope this out.


Tagging the usual misfits

I am in. I just need to find a saw to cut some metal for more clearance.

 

Im down to scope out both trails from a 2nd gen perspective but want to keep it super tight group.

Perhaps in December?

 

Yeah that might work good for everyone. Maybe the first weekend?

 

Not sure. We will discuss at a later date.
