We're running Mud Springs trail, but only going as far as 'the big hill' where we'll break for lunch and anybody who wants to challenge themselves can go up 'the big hill' and back down again. Then we'll head back. It'll still be a full day of fun wheeling and gorgeous scenery. Bit of Trivia: Back in the day when the Offroad Passport team were noob's, 'the big hill' was as far as we ever got on the Mud Springs Trail, so in a sense it was the end of the trail for us then.

@GRUNT I've never been there so I can't say the spot you picked for sure will fit a truck & car hauler, but there is plenty of room on the site, even it if doesn't fit in your space. So that is a YES!

Hey @capsul, sorry but you got booted. Let me know if you want to claim a different camp site. Remember you guys, it's not 'officially' reserved until we get the $$, so as we get closer to the date, you could get bumped.

I think that's the trail we took from Wikieup to Yucca a year or two ago. Def not used very much anymore, for shore. Glad you & Gadget came out unscathed. Pretty pictures and great report!

I agree @Surfy, your pictures are beautiful! Thanks for sharing them.

I really enjoyed watching your demo of Gadget's modifications! Your walk-around was definitely most engaging, and the mods are the most cleaver and functional. You did a great job on all the work, and on the video you entered. Kudos K!!

@theksmith yeah, going through a mental list of trails around there I guessed it. I thought either Dupont Cabin or the asbestos mine trail (forgot the name) we went to. Okay, I'll find a picture.

Dupont Cabin

Sunflower

@theksmith Yes! I thought the picture was so obvious. It's from the Welcome AORC run we did. Your turn.

@Lichen nope. Think local but way east.

@Number7 nice try but WRONG. @theksmith, no it's in AZ.

I just read (almost) this whole thread. This was fun when we were doing it. Anybody want to play? Name this trail:

Hey everyone, I've added new choices to the Poll. A wine tasting tour with Eugene, and House Mountain trail with Curly. Thanks to both of you for offering to lead these!!
