Anyone know anything about these trails? I'm heading up Saturday to hook up with some really old friends (non-Rover) and was curious as what to expect.. Any knowledge would be great.. Thanks.. RS

I was just got back from a 3 day trip there over this past weekend. There is enough there to get into trouble if you like, but most of the trails should be no problem for a lifted Disco. When I went last year there had been flooding and a tornado the night before. I expected it to be a muddy mess, but it was really much better. It is so rocky that I guess it just drains much faster. Just made for one muddy hill climb and a bunch of great stream crossings.

Most of the trails are tight with many small mud puddles. Most of the obstacles are just rocks that you can make it up easily with the right line. There are some specific trails that you should visit like White's Arch and Stump Cave. I have most of the trails tracked with GPS and waypoints for great camping sites if you would like. If you want some more info or directions feel free to email me.

Matt

Rob, I'm actually going with a couple of Isuzu Troopers, and a couple of J(*Ps.

Matt, I wish I could use your GPS waypoints, but the thing is, I don't have a GPS:-( The guys I'm going with seem to know where they are going, and surely if the Trooper can make it then I will be able to:-) I've got a handful of pictures of the trails from one of the guys. I'll try and post 'em and see if you recognize any of it.. Later.. RS
