MCR5

[Ramrod]

how hard is that trail really compared to the con and how long would it take to get there from the north bay.  Also when does it get snowed in up there.

[MiniSimp]

The trail usually opens in July.
It is rated 10 out of 10, along with Rubicon and Fordyce Creek
33 miles long
3 days if you rush, 4 if you are taking pictures, 5 if you are fishing.

[Duffil]

yeah, it's supposed to be a really good(and VERY tough).  I think it would probably be easier for more people to make it out to Dusy/Ershim 'stead o' the 'Con, because it's more central in the state.  But hey, either trail would rock!

Hey Mini! Nice work on the Truffle Shuffle!!!

Looks like I'd better plan for a week then between the Amigo and my fishing pole, I'd be held up fer a bit a little bit of everywhere

[BigMike]

Well, now we are talking about Swamp Lake, which has many difficult areas, but its not nearly as long..

It's all small talk right now, so don't start planning yet!

[Duffil]

hey, it's still rated difficult, another good trail as well,13.4 miles, so let's hear all your ideas!

[BUBBA]

  maybe tellico,lots of good trails there.  

[RHG]

Hahaha, hey Marlin didnt show up till late Saterday afternoon. Just imagine if they had to drive across the country to a roundup. Plus the shop would be closed for a week atleast. It would be cool to do tellico but thats a long ride.

[BUBBA]

  not for me though

   HELLO RHG     it aint like Cali  is across town from florida ya know

[MiniSimp]

The difference is one or two rigs coming from Florida to here, or 400 rigs going from here to florida.

[wa4x4]

Well I might be able to make it to #5 but most likely #6 will be better for me...More experience and can work the kinks out of my rig.

[79coyotefrg]

but Mini think of the boost in the economy it would generate

[alyssa2004]

yeah, holy crap....200 rigs getting an average of 12-15 mpg?!  that's a good chunk of change   

[RHG]

Boost in economy=Less cash in my wallet! Id rather keep the cash, screw that mess.

[79coyotefrg]

oh come on Bush's family and friends need that money to finish there 2nd billion

there are more then just one or two rigs on this site of the rock I'm sure we could get a good group together to do Tellico, but I wouldn't really expect the MCR5 here.

Unfortunately, unless we relocate, which I don't forsee, we won't be back to the other side next year.

[CruzrDave]

Swamp, dusy, coyote are all out of the qestion. We looked into it all ready last year. Things like-permits, environmental imact study, fees, 1 port-a-poty for ever 8 people, more permits, special tax for selling on Forest Service land ( T-shirts or even stickers ), and lots of insurance make this not feesiable. These trail can not handle 100+ trucks. There are no by-passes or alternate routes. Bald mountain could be an option but still requires all FS stuff.

I think Rubicon is great for the MCR, its been there all 4 times we've had the MCR. I would like to see pre-reg with asigned runs going in to the springs and out to help with traffic jams. Somthing like TCLA does.

[KYOTA]

Keep it on the Con

[mudguts]

Dusy would be awesome, but there is no way it could handle that many rigs for one run. It would take a week to get through it 

[*FFC*]

Keep it on the Con

Unfortunately for all them folks that are so far away, I agree

[sloyota]

Keep it on the Con

what he said......

M _ O _ A _ B

[Lady Di]

leave it to Glen. I still vote for Tellico, or better yet, our local FL swamp
