    I have CB if anyone else has one. That way we have some comms to rely if there are some problems

    Honestly after watching that video @EricL posted. It might be steep but as long as there is good ground prerunners may be okay. Just from what I saw so I could be off because I haven’t rode this trail before but it didn’t look much worse than HPR.

    I haven’t gotten to the bridge in the video yet (Work keeps interrupting) but it looks like fun. Very interested to see how I do once it gets “thick”

    To me it seems to get steeper but not too bad. Now if there was some loose rocks/sand/dirt then it might be difficult.

    On the way back out I hit a ledge that I had to put it 4lo to get up. Might could have made a run at it, but I was alone so breaking stuff would gave been bad.

    I think the only thing allowing me to go is the fact that I have 3 full gas cans to bring so I can get home. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay for two tanks of gas for there and back and then some. This is a rough month.:tumbleweed:

    Got room for one more? I might can make it out Saturday morning.. starting to get a little crazy after 2 weeks of arctic air. My tires aren't in the best condition, but I think I'll be ok.
