Can't blame ya for that. Its probably a pretty good drive for you guys. But you're only like a week off for Chubfest! Its the 28-30th (I'm sure you know), and I plan to be there all weekend. I'm pretty pumped for it.

Let us know if you find any new/tough sections in the trails. I've yet to find anything too difficult back in the woods.

Yeah that's a decent drive. I went canoeing and hit Flat Nasty a few weeks ago, it was right around 300. Took like 6 hrs in my poor ol truck lol.

It was badass! I didn't stay long, just ran one easy and one moderate trail, then cruised the roads to check out the park. My woman was ready to head home - long weekend for her I guess haha.

Its definitely an intense park, I told the lady at the office (Sheilla) that I'm not sure I'd wanna be out there in anything less than what my truck is and she said people go out there in stock trucks. I dunno how they do it without just beating the piss out of it. I was in double low, first gear the whole time. The whole park is ALL rocks.

I'll definitly be back, hopefully spring of next year. I've got a bumper to build, winch to install, and I'd like to make a belly skid before I go back. When I do I'll be staying all weekend thats for sure, the park is open 24/7!
