Anyone got pictures of these trails from the past?

I'm considering making this my first trail run with TEC.

It's just a far drive and I would have to camp out Friday night too. Any good crown land spots someone willing to share?

Hi. First time poster, but been lurking here for a while.

I'd like to join the run and had a couple of questions:
1) Would it be OK to bring my 3.5 year old daughter? Anybody else bringing kids? I'm not inexperienced when it comes to 4x4's and off-roading but i figured a newbie run like this would be a good opportunity to to introduce my daughter to it
2) How long will the run take, approximately?

 

1) Hard to say, there is a lot of rough terrain and up/downs, may be bouncy, overall this is all going to be done at slow speeds so I think the kid should be okay.
2) We are planning on doing 4 different trails, depending on the group speed it may take anywhere between 3 to 6 hours. Bring the snacks and water. In between the trails there are exits if anyone wishes to leave earlier. Plan is to finish trail run by 4PM at the latest. We may skip some trails and go straight to others, all depends on the group.

 

I was gonna see if one of my kids would come with Dad, but at their ages they only thing they want from me is money!
I say bring her she'll probably have a blast bouncing around.

 

Well it seems I have a swamper coming, so everyone rest easy. He can run lines, shovel, grab drinks, whatever!
Might cost me a meal or two, but its worth it!
ANyone coming from the far west...Im down for a convoy.
