Well Trail #26 we will not do. Had a buddy who went to Drummond last weekend he met a couple of jeepers who went down that trail. Lets say they went 1.5 miles in 4 hours. They said it was rutted out really really bad.

I hate to say it but I've got really bad news on my end. Went to doc for my physical and now I'm gonna be out of commission for a while. Needless to say I'm not going to be able to make it this weekend.
