    Not enough to have a build thread.
    You gonna go go hit it with me when the jeeps driveable? Gotta bend in a brake line, flush the coolant and brake fluid, then waiting on some tires from my dads neighbor.

    Was the exit side. Didn't air down, and by myself. Never been on this trail. Just stories about it.

    Got an invite to do this, this month with a couple of others. So went in just a little to get a mind set on it and turned around for the above reasons.Was camping up the road.
    For what little of it I did, LITTLE RUFF, but doable.

    Will know more later, and will post on it.

    Wait until an accident happens, then decide to send a crew in to take care of it and other possible areas.

    They do relies the winds are coming, don't they?

    That's exactly what it is. Coupled with record visitation, the NPS doesn't have the staff or budget to maintain the parks. And it looks like it's only going to get worse.

    "Agencies like the National Park Service and EPA cannot take care of our treasured landscapes and historical landmarks with further cuts to what are already shoestring budgets." - John Garder, Director of Budget and Appropriations for National Parks Conservation Association, on the current administration’s FY2018 budget proposal.

    DV is not bad. It's just a tad harder than Slickrock. Where SR has obstacles, DV is basically a long rock garden.

    I did Slickrock for the 1st time this Summer, had to use the winch in a few spots. Hopefully, I'll have lockers by next summer and give it another shot., Beat the hell out of my stock rear bumper.

    Yup, except for the check engine light. The shop that installed my replacement engine, has been working on it. They've changed 2 of 4 Oxygen sensors. Insurance covered it.

    Going to be staying at the Girard ridge lookout in Shasta with my brother this week, any recommendations on easy trails in the area we could do? Or any good lakes to hit up?
