I'd be cool with split groups  ..  i tend to like to move along at a good pace and start early on the trail so would prefer an early group,  but nick just let me know, as it is your run..

I did Gold Mountain in my stock 91 4runner a few years ago.  Except for the first obstacle, which looks more imposing in the above photos, there were bypasses for the tougher spots. 

What about the bypasses??

I'm down for anything. Hard run, early run, late run, hard run, split run, easy run, hard run, big group, small group, hard run...
....anything at all.

Ideally we would keep it one group.  This would be a great opportunity for those that are new to the off road world, or their trucks to get some first hand experience.  Or to just watch someone with a smiliar rig get the knowledge of how to negotiate the trail/obstacle.  As of right now, I'm only going to count confirmed people as coming out, so make sure to PM me if you are confirmed for coming out so I can update the list and try to gauge how we'll run this trail. 

For now, one group, even spread out the capable/experienced crew amongst the less capable rigs/novice wheelers.  Don't be afraid of speaking up, if you need a spotter or just some help.  I would rather spend time spotting someone through and obstacle the right way then spending time fixing them on the trail.

This looks like spot where a Jeep got awefully up close an personal with Marc's X, no damage, but really close.

[ArchX]

Yup, and either that pic does not do justice, or it has eroded quite a bit since.. 

[Toro]

Work schedule changed. I'm out. Anyone wanna do something on Sunday or late Sat?

[Blackx]

I always feel like pictures don't really do it justice.

Toro,
some of us will be there all weekend, let us know when you can make it.

We are going to go up there the weekend of the 9th and pre-run some trails for the more stock vehicles. My truck is way more stock than Nick's, so we will find one or two trails to do for the rest of us stock people. I will happily trail lead, but I would appreciate a volunteer to tail gun for me.

You said you guys are pre-running some trails the 9th.   I would be happy to tail gun for you that day.  Whatever you want to run.   Let me know where and when.
