I agree with Colby, leaving at around 3-3:30 would probably be a good time to get up to where were gonna camp with still enough day light left to set up tents and what not. Although if you had a zj you could fold the seats down and set up tent in the back seats like im gonna do. How does heading up the trail at 3:30 sound??? We will have a better judgement on this after tomorrow.

if I can get my POS to run right. im in. "i think it needs a new cap and rotor"! I have been running this trail for 5 years and as the rating goes for the trail they graded alot of it so they could get the fire tucks back there. as camping spots go the cabin is where we usually camp at but if we leave a 3:30 we will not make it there in time with light especially if we have stockers going. And I am by no way saying that they will not make it its just it will take a while to get them through some spots. plus you add the play time and stop and go time it will be dark. anyway that is what i have to say on the subject but you can count me in. oh and if you need me to lead i will and the trip through takes about 5 hours if all goes well.

Hey guys I'm in. The only thing is that I don't get off work til 4:00 which means I won't be to the trail head til 5:00. I also think we need to limit the number of rigs. I also think Yotaman should lead hes done this run many times.

Sounds good man. As far as camping goes, we ran the trail today and there is no way we could get more than three rigs in at the cabin. My buddy Matt was saying that there is a bigger spot to camp a lot sooner in the trail, Like before you hit the top of the initial first hill climb. There is lots to play on in the first third of the trail so its not like there wouldn't be anything to do. Any ways, some of us want to leave a little earlier so we can set up camp and cook dinner in the light so we were thinking maybe running two groups. 1 earlier and 1 later and us early guys would post up signs as to where we were camping. Whats your guy's thoughts on that?

I'll go in as a "maybe". I've got to get my dirt bike ready for a big trip 2 weekends from now and have quite a bit of work to do. Plan was to do it next weekend, but this sounds like more fun, so I'm going to try and get it done at night.

Well saturday was my first time running the trail, so i am not exactly sure where you are talking about. That might be the spot that Matt was talking about, but i am not sure.

Just wondering if you know if this is an updated list Colby also your buddy Matt with the red yota is going right??? Also doesnt look like my wife is gonna make it she is deciding whether to quit her job or go in to work on saturday lol they are making her work 3-close. So since she probably isnt going ill be going with the earlier group most likely.

So we can all plan on leaving early so how does 12:00 noon sound. Meet at the gas sattion on oracle and golder ranch rd. Is everyone good with this time and location. If you are not sure where that gas station is, let me know and we can meet up in town and then head out there.

Just wondering if it would be possible for anyone to bring some firewood with them. its gonna be pretty much freezing up there in the middle of the night and would be nice to actually have some wood for a fire since there isnt much wood laying around in the desert to burn, at least not big pieces. Anyone got any extra wood laying around wanting to get rid of let me or someone else thats making the run know. Thanks
