Looks like I will make it. 42 is listed as moderate with some difficult areas rock ledges etc. Having finished the Cleghorn modification (removal of step that wasn't damaged on trail) planning on taking it easy until I get sliders installed, hopefully there are some bypasses.

I haven't ran this trail before, but stock should be ok. That said, I take no responsibility for any battle scars incurred on the trail  |

If you ask Brian (xtoolbox) everything is stock friendly. Come on up and join us, the weather is awsome. |

Well, we survived another Xcursion. What a great trip, it was nice to see old friends and meet new ones. We had 9 trucks show up: Goldfish, BlackX, Bouncy1, Alex, HellerX, MurphyX, Grizzly, GitarboyX, & SteevO, with a total of 14 people. We were on the trail by 11:00am we made a couple of geocache stops along the way. We then came to a fork in the road were they had to decide, do I go the challenging way or the easy way. Needless to say, everyone was up for the challenge. About midway through we came across a slightly bigger challenge. It was a boulder strewn downhill section that was not bad if you were equipped with sliders and skid plates. For those who weren't, there were some tense moments. Thanks to Steven and his expert spotting skills, everyone made it through. After that it was smooth sailing to the Rose Mine where we stopped for lunch and conversation. After lunch some of the group split off to go home while the rest of us went on to find the Hole In Wall Mine. This was a cool find as we were able to go in about 50' or more. After that we headed back to town and stopped at Maggios for some Italian food and cold ones. Thanks to everyone for making it a great day. Pictures will be posted soon.

What a good day! Don, Thanks for putting this run together.
It was good to meet you all and wheel with you.
We'll have to do it again. There was some good driving and we all made it out with only a scratch or two. I don't get to browse all the boards to keep in the loop on the upcoming runs so if you ever need an extra spotter or need a guinea pig to send into obstacles first, please pm or e-mail me. (pms have e-mail notifications on)
I'll catch you guys on the next on.
-Steven

Great run! Being fairly stock and 2WD, I had a good challenge getting through some of the sections. Steve and Lee, thanks for spotting me and giving me a tug up Tip Top Road. I learned a lot from this trip. It was good talking with everyone at lunch. Don, thanks for setting it up (and the Corona as well; I realized afterwards that it was probably one of your personal ones, doh!).
I snapped a few pics that should be up tonight.

No worries on the Corona Alex, that's why I bought a bucket full. |
