Yes please! I'm in. Its going on the calendar now before someone tries some funny business and wants to schedule something. I will look at cabin prices up there. Gets chilly there in late Oct. This could it be more perfect... We need a long weekend of offroading and camping.

Hey I'm in.  What do we need to do.   Actually this sounds like a bunch of pre-runs before late October.     So who is up for Black Trails:  Holcomb Creek, Dishpan Springs, John Bull, Heartbreak Ridge

Count me in for Pre Runs. It'll be a great time to work on my driving and spotting skills.

I'm in for the re-runs, I'll even go on a few Blacks if I'm equiped for them. I can take a few days off prior as well, make it a long weekend for me.

Count me in for the easy stock one.  I can't risk my X too much as it's currently the family car, not just MY toy like it will one day, .

Okay, Rattlesnake Canyon or Skyline Drive/Jacoby Canyon?

If you have side step rails and mud flaps you will want to remove before tackling either of the trails.

Put me down for skyline and jacoby. How bad is rattlesnake/3N03? Hopefully it doesn't rain

Rattlesnake isn't bad, just tight is some places.  

If you have step rails and mud flaps still, removing them is good.  

Sliders are better.
