FYI, there will be a group of full size Fords going through South to North the 15th to the 23rd. Maybe you can give a report. Last year was their first attempt, and they turned around at Thompson with breakage. They've been doing repairs, upgrades, and gathering spares to go back.

In case you didn't notice that Rock, it's the pinch rock near Dusy Creek, Courtright. I took these pictures going through Southbound last year. The rock came with the truck as they winched, but let go right in the middle of the trail. So they winched it out of the way.

I think so too, that's a landmark.

Dusy is ifs "friendly"...

I put it in quotes
I ran the trail the first two times IFS and a bunch of other Tacos since then have done it.  Damage consisted mainly of CVs and, I think, one outer TR end.  Other than that a few minor dents/scratches.  All rigs were driven home at the end of the trail...none trailered.
Maybe different for Runners?  :p

I also noticed this when i hiked a portion of the trail earlier this year. I was bummed when i saw it If anyone wants to try and put it back id be down to help...

So far just 3-4 rigs are going...all SA Tacomas

Looks like this is turning into a Swamp Lk run with maybe Brewer or over to Mirror for the last day.
heading up either 8/20 or 8/21
