"Difficult trails in my opinion is the only way to keep wackos out and the peace and quiet nature I so love in. Making the trail a freeway would enable access to over crowd the trail with a bunch of highschool spray-painting juveniles." --- Big Mike


I believe Big Mike is referring to an incident that happened recently where some high school kids in their infinite wisdom thought it would be great to spray paint the top of bald mountain with orange florescent paint.  Not the tower, because that can be repainted, but the rock itself.  They got an ear full and went back up there and "Cleaned it up" (Spray painted it gray so you cant see it as well).  Big Mike doesn't hate high school kids, I know this because i was one when i met him.

I know there's a run with cal4wd this weekend so it might not happen anybody know wich way they start the run from maybe i can get in front of the train :headscratch:

I think they might come in from both ways and meet in the middle.  I would avoid swap during high sierra, they have like 50 vehicles on the trail

do you think anybody going would be willing to give me a winch pull or two because I am a newb with open diffs, I have 33's and sliders

I have made coyote with some "help" right after the gate but on my way back I made it down with no help just some good spotting. 

Ill most likely have a spotter with me.

What cb channel and I know its been asked but what time can we meet and where
