I believe Senornoob is volunteering to lead excursion #3. I encourage it.

Looks nice. I believe the Snooperduty could do it. I, personally, will stick to the routes I already have planned. I'm trying to keep them oriented toward people who don't want pinstriping and lots of mud. There is another road, I can give people directions to that I dropped off the route for excursion #2 when I added the mill that Jim mentioned. I think it would make the drive too long.

I don't mind a little dirt but I don't do pinstriping and I don't want to break anything since I need to drive 4 hours back home.

I honestly have no idea what McKendree Rd. is like. I've read reports ranging from "I wouldn't even try to hike it." to "My Maverick did just fine."

I may try to take a trip across as a check on conditions...

Time-wise, I'll be available to scope it out on Thursday, since I'm arriving Wednesday. But I won't have a suitable vehicle. For econonocal reasons, I will be traveling in a 2wd (fwd?) Ford Flex. Not great clearance, not great tire tread, not my vehicle to put a lot of pinstripes on.

Ford Maverick. Lemme see if I can find that report...

Maverick: The word comes from Samuel A. Maverick, a 19th-century Texas landowner who left his cattle unbranded. Other ranchers started calling stray, unbranded animals "mavericks," which later evolved to describe independent people.

Took My FWD Maverick Through McKendree Road, WV — Yes, Seriously.

I just got back from a wild ride I wasn’t totally sure my Maverick would survive—and it ended up being one of the most intense and rewarding drives I’ve done. I took my FWD Ford Maverick '24 through McKendree Road in West Virginia’s New River Gorge National Park—a trail that’s often described...

Congratz you know the etymology of the word, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the question.

Very legit question IMO. The comment could have been talking about either a Can-Am Maverick or a Ford Maverick, which have very different capabilities.
