TEC || VMUTS Camping and Wheeling Trip August 23/24/25

I will say it is as tight if not tighter than Black Lake Loop. #49 for example is no buenos. Several hundred meters of very tight, very scrapey.

I figured you guys would want to avoid the scapey parts. Most of the technical hard stuff, that is part of trails is on tight scrapey trails. So its a choice we gotta make

(For all the bitching I have done about Black Lake Loop. I am pretty sure I could solo it. I have started using my vinyl wrap this year for what it was put on the truck for. Mad tight trails. We have started exploring all the tighter 4wheeler trails on VMUTS)

#69 is a great technical trail, but it has sections that will brush against your truck. Most of it green, but pinstripes are a thing.

We can avoid it all if we want. We may split into 2 groups, if avoiding pinstripes is high on some priorities and not on others.

 

can someone bring a buddy we can pay with beer to walk ahead with hedge clippers?

 

Pin stripes aren’t too bad. Shit buffs out.


Two groups is good though. Totally get people not wanting to mess their stuff up. Been there.

 

Love pinstripes now, adds character to the truck.

 

Yea I figured you would say that Tony

My friend will be joining us with his rig, he knows the trails better than I do. So we will have the ability to split up and join back together with no problems.

 

I might be coming

 

ARB bumper hedge trimmer attachment points anyone?

 

Dont tease me

 

Where are you coming from? It's an 8.5-hour drive from Windsor.

 

can't be. sarnia is around 6hrs to north bay. still far but we will make it worth it.

 

7.5 hours according to Google : https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Sar...2m2!1d-82.4065901!2d42.974536!1m0!2m1!2b1!3e0

 

After the first few stripes, it stopped bothering me. I don't go looking for it but if it happens, oh well.

 

Google maps is so crazy now, that it updates on the fly to traffic conditions on the trip.

Says 6h 41m right now for me on that route.

 

We ran trail #93 today, to see why its marked as black.

We had a blast on it. Its marked black because of the technical sections.

Just became my favorite trail, and we only ran it 1 way. The other way is going to be way more technical.

 

Is it as tight as this?

Better have a winch ready.

The guys with 35s and even 37s get stuck on black loop. You're comparing a trail that's probably rated as a 1+ to 2 to a 3+ that many say should be a 4.

The mud holes on black loop are the main reason I haven't run it. Heard enough and seen enough videos on it. You are not getting through there solo with your truck.

 

I dont go down walking paths with my truck.

That isnt even a road.

 

I have been told by locals in North bay, that it is nothing like what you explain.

Very hard to get a read on a trail until you do it.

*edit*
How did @Norilsk do it if guys with 37's cant? He was on p-rated. No winch.

??



Doesnt make a lot of sense.

 

Lol. We did 3-5 hours of that, but I don’t even remember but was just curious.

 

You can get through it with said tires and no winch but he had people there to pull him out when stuck.

I'm not saying your truck can't get through it with a winch or others. But there is no way you'll get through it solo without self recovery.

@tacoma16 @Therby and I were all talking about it Saturday when they were up here at the trailer. Taylor even said the bypasses for the 3ft deep mud holes are bad and everyone gets stuck in them.
