Trail Discussion

[TORX]

What trails would you like to run this year, or what difficulty are you looking for?

I'm trying to figure out a trail schedule, but would like to know who would like to do what.

Also, for those willing to be trail leaders, or take out a group, post up.

I really liked our routes last year, Bald Mt Thursday (moderate), over the ridge Friday (long/difficult), Lilly Pond to the rocks Saturday (hard). Depending on group size and trail difficulties wanted, I can come up with some more alternate routes though.

The past couple of times I have attended this event I never made it to the rocks.

This time a buddy and his wife are coming with me with their brand new JK. I know they aren't gonna want any body damage so I was thinking of leading an easy run.

Since Rock Creek road re-opened, I was thinking about running up that to the ridge and then over to the rocks.

Anyone know if Milk Creek road has re-opened yet? If so maybe run up that....Lower and Upper Woodpecker trails and 5 Fingers then to the rocks.

Either should be a fairly easy and of course anyone that wants to can join us.

Thoughts/comments?

Sounds great, Joe. As far as I know Rock Creek is still the easiest way up to the rocks. A bit of a jaunt though.

Found out that the JK is not going to be wheeled, even if they bring it to camp.

Looks like we will be following the main group....as long as I don't end up on another 18 hour long "trail" run I will be fine.

has anybody ran the 697? Clover springs. it looks to be on the way up to the 696/little bald Mt.

I did not know there was a "trail" that went up to ravens roost (4W900 Powerline Ravens Roost 8.5 More Difficult), id be in for a Thursday evening adventure

Bronze.

Last weekend the Ravens Roost trail was impassable due to snow amount I believe.

Be interested to see what it looks like next weekend.

My tentative plan...

Thursday arrive, set up camp, relax a lil, then try n run power line up to ravens roost for sunset.

Friday run Lilly pond to kaner, shoestring, to tripod or whatever it's called? The long one we typically do. Finish at the rocks.

Saturday short run straight to the rocks, back in time for BBQ.

Thoughts? Anyone interested ?

I've never been, so I don't know what to expect. I have decently capable rig on 3.5" lift w/ 31's open open, so break me in easy. I've invited my father who knows the area well and has a land cruiser with 6" 35's locked locked and a 350ci, so I could follow him

Either way sounds like a good plan.
