We're going to head up Sunday morning. Plan is to be at Roger's Camp by 9am. CB channel 24. This is a small run and we'll be doing harder trails. Fire Break 5 is where I grenaded an axle last year, and we're doing ALL of it on Sunday. (Wish me luck.)

Post up and bring whatever you want (doesn't have to be a TrailVoy). Make sure it's got clearance, tires and preferably at least a rear locker... unless you want to bypass the harder stuff or take a hook.

GAME OVER! I WIN! :mrgreen:

Just two of us ended up going up... which worked out. We covered the whole trail with half the day to spare. Turned around and went back down most of it as well. Back in time for dinner.


PROOF OF TROOF!

TrailBlazer jacks make good repair tools.
