    Would love to do a run in the coming weeks. I am in Orange County, so if anyone want to set up some closer toward the end of the month, just let me know!

    Anyone know if Main Divide from Ortega HWY to Santiago Peak is open? I ran maple springs this week but would like to try a longer route.

    It was closed when I went a few weeks ago. Bedford Motor Way from Weirick / Dos Lagos off the 15 was open. You take Bedford to Main Divide up to Santiago Peak.

    San G. Otherwise big runs are kinda dumb. I sit in traffic on the way to work, why sit in traffic on a dirt road?

    I drove up Maple Springs to Santiago Peak today and came back the same way. But it appears that Main Divide Trail is open up to Ortega Hwy. I may try that route next time. It was fun.

    Finally had a chance to take my Taco to its natural habitat. Drove up to Santiago Peak via Maple Springs Trail.

    I personally had a blast....but I don’t think the owner of the Raptor pictured can say the same thing. For those who know the trail, he broke down really close to Santiago Peak.

    I went up Wednesday evening, how did he get the raptor around the boulder in the middle of the trail?

    The raptor was stopped on the trail about a quarter mile below the big boulder.

    I don’t know. But I know there’s significant damage to that front suspension. I can’t imagine what it will take to repair it on site just to make it to the bottom. Not at all a spot where it can be towed.

    Damn Ford's! To see a Raptor like that on that trail is pretty sad. Nice to hear its open. Been a while since I've been up there.

    Good to know! It was closed a few weeks ago and the Cleveland National Forest site still shows it's closed.

    Ouch.... Looks like his upper ball joint gave out? I've seen a few vehicles left on trails before with similar damage. Saw an FJ with a busted tie rod on Rowher (tires pointed inward at each other) and saw an older Lexus GX470(?) on Miller Jeep Trail with a broken rear axle shaft. It was midway thru the trail and no way you could tow out a broken vehicle on MJT. They ended up replacing it on the trail some days later.
