Take a Look at Del's website. It will answer alot of your questions. And No its not too late. I was up last weekend and It was beutiful. Just make sure you have some spare parts with you. Last Monday there was NO-ONE there but us. The damn trail was empty. You can run the trail in 2days but I would recomend 3 to make it a little more enjoyable. Most people just run to Spider and back. This time of year and during the week you will have no trail traffic so you can actual get to spider in a few hours. Do you plan on going in from Loon or Wentworth?

It can be done in two days. I usually allow 3 days for traffic or breakdowns. It is less of a hustle on the second day if you can make it to Buck Island Lake. My last two trips have been two full days, and both times we only made it just past the Little Sluice on the first day.

Pack warm cloths and camping gear. bbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ‘Cause if anyone catches you with a fire, they will feed you to the bears!
Have fun

If you don't have at least one locker in each rig...allow three days. I have heard that it cah be done in one day, but that has to be a real hustle.

Stephen Watson from Offroad Design made it from Loon to Cadillac back to Loon in a 24 hour period. But his big is bad ass too. Hope ya'll had fun, and hopefully beat the rain/snow.
