its probably flooded as hell and the rockpile coverd in mud so no idea how much you would like to go play in the mud with it

If I were you I would give them a call at Surplus City. They normaly do not let people in there but there might be an exception made for your situation.

thanks for the input - I ran the upper ridge last weekend in my truck it was okay until I got to 3,500 ft then it turned to gooo , Up near Concow and above . I know the Lookout is not a bad road this time of the year and has a great view from the top - But I was hoping for a little rougher road -Jess

The Clay Pits are muddy

If it rains like its supposed this week they will be even more muddy

I drive by there almost everyday.

Not enough room to really stretch your legs at the clay pits either, IMO. Throw some cepeks on it and hit the snow

onetoncv · 01-18-2010, 11:43 AM

we had a chance to run and let me tell you the leg's stretched -mine mainly from hodling on- what a ride- Jess

porterwagner · 01-18-2010, 06:57 PM

so you did go hit up the sawmill peak/concow area!! no mud on the rig?? that rig looks fast, probably scared anybody else that was up there if you ran into them around a corner!! tahaha!!!

onetoncv · 01-18-2010, 07:02 PM

No one followed us for long - it got pretty muddy on the back side of sawmill peak- we did scare a few mt. bikers and met up with a few wheelers who just stared when we went past , some loggers on the back side were just watchin us haul arse to the bottom it was friggen fast- Jess

onetoncv · 01-18-2010, 07:05 PM

onetoncv · 01-18-2010, 07:09 PM
