It's near Prentice Cooper WMA. I haven't fully explorered it yet, but have been up there a few times.

It's usually less muddy than Aetna, but not nearly as many trails, at least at haven't found that many. Really need to start mapping it with the gps.

I always see a lot of dirt bikes up there too.

Wouldn't really say frost, that was late afternoon, it was just all still frozen. It was kind of surprising, we had a bucnh of rain and I thought it would be nasty up there, but with a lot of stuff frozen it wasn't so bad.

But why did you run in to the tree? lol

I just moved a little too far to the right, or I may have a little tree hater in my blood since my Dad, Uncle, and Grandfather all worked in the sawmill industry.

I know, you were distracted by all those ledges to climb, you just didn't see that tree there....all by itself...in the middle of the hill....yeh, that's it!:viking::cheers:

what kinda pressure you running up that fun hill? Looks a little high...I've been creeping my way down to 10# with my 35" claws, and have noticed a good bit of increased traction. I used to run 12-15#

They were around 12, usually run them around 10 but got impatient with the deflators and pulled them off early. The bighorns don't bulge out a whole lot until I'm under 10, closer to 8 and that seems a little low for no beadlocks.

yeh, with no beadlocks, I'm a little nervous at 10, but haven't lost one yet!...I'm not sure I'd be comfortable going to 8#...:eyes:
