Rode 12 and 10 today.....good looooong ride. Only a few tightish spots. It was my cherokee....another similar cherokee, an LJ and a CJ on full widths.

[TonyBolton]

Also did the below trail

Long cause of breakage or long as in mileage? Wish I could have made it.

[TonyBolton]

Combination of everything. Some battery issues for one...clutch/overheating from another.... and doing T16 aaaaaaand T12.

We started off with like 10 vehicles and ended up with 4

How did he XJ do on Rattle Rock? I ran the little loop at the bottom last time and was all over the driveshaft on every rock.

Now which trails did you use to get to and from 12? and which way did you run it?

Kind of a joke pic, really. I drove to I guess the last 1/4 mark and then turned around and came up. Everybody had headed out for the day, but figured I still had some play left. There was some bumper/pumpkin bashing, but I just took my time and tried not to kamikaze anything. The lower section where I turned around was the toughest part. Closer I got towards the top it was easier....cuz you could actually pick a line.

Now which trails did you use to get to and from 12? and which way did you run it?

From the gravel parking lot, we went to 2, then 16(to the end), then headed up the gravel rd(forget which G-number that is), then 13 to 12 then to 10. And coming out from 10 onto the gravel will put you right back out at the end of 16 on that gravel road. Then I just took the gravel road all the way back to the pavement(comes out at the top of Rattle Rock).

Whichever way you run it(12 to 10, 10 to 12), youll have a good cimb out. 10 is a good lil hill section, but running the other way you come down a pretty rocky/steepish hill. Next time I run it, may try it that way.

That place is getting rough for sure. We were there in mid April and it looks like its changed a good bit.

[Lrgrnr]

How rough does 40 get after this section?

[TonyBolton]

After that drop in...its right at the worst section. Then there is another section near the end thats pretty rough. Everything in the middle is pretty cool trail runnin'

[Lrgrnr]

I think we may try it next time out.

[TonyBolton]

If you can tolerate some body damage on that first baf spot youll be good go.

I was in a group of about 4 ATV's. Mine looks like this.

[Lrgrnr]

Oh yeah, we met your group at the top of that clay hill climb on 39 I think.

[DirtRoads]

Yeah that sounds about right. Thanks for the directions, I made it out ok

[FLTJ]

Just curious if the maps have been updated recently. A group of us take an annual trip up there everyyear and have a cheat sheet that we use showing our favorite jeep spots. This year we will be there in sept. thanks

[TrailSup]

Maps are being update twice a year now. Next one is due in a few weeks.

[FLTJ]

Thanks. I wouldn't want to use our old cheat sheet and miss some of these new trails cut. Thanks again for all your work to provide a great place to wheel

Great thread! Heading there next weekend. Looks like I have been missing out on a good spot.

I'm hoping to be on a shakedown run very soon....sadly, my old green XJ got used and abused a little too much and was too far gone for me to deal with. I'm starting over with a fresh body/drivetrain but with my old axles....with "ton stuff" in the future build.

No one gonna be ridin Labor Day weekend!?:screwy::what:
