Saw video of one of the downhill slots on the Doran side. Didn't look nearly as bad as it did a couple years ago. Dude said the trails were in great condition.

Sweet. You get some redemption and I get to check out this famous trail. How many miles is the loop?

I'd have to look but it's not that long. I wanna say there's only like 4 or 5 major obstacles. Waterfall towards the beginning, slot canyon waterfall, pucker pass, and the downhill on back side. @AssBurns or @Mike_taco4x4 can chime in on other major obstacles.

Youtube pucker pass calico. haha.

You know I don't watch vids of trails before I do them. It's an old climbing mentality. In climbing there is a thing called an onsight. Basically it means you just walk up to the climb, with no knowledge other than where it goes, and climb it. Watching vids, getting gear beta, or anything else that helps you know about the route ahead of time makes it a flash. Onsights are way better style than a flash. I had two knicknames I got through years of climbing. One was Onsight Matt the other was Asshole Matt. Both where well deserved. lol

I'm looking forward to getting this thing done and maybe finding some other things to play on.

If it gets any more difficult @4runner DOA might not want to do it. I hear he's 0 for 2 so far. I should have taken some photo's of Coyote the other day. It was bad. Depending on whether the FS decides to repair it or not the only access will be the hard way in. That would be a rad season up there. It would keep all the "overlanders" from even getting close.
That’ll be fun to have the whole area to yourself without all the large groups always in the way.
Telling you guys if you don’t get your fill check out Bismarck’s mullet, your body panels will never be the same
I’d be down to at least try it

Got my buddy Miah coming along. He won't be wheeling Odessa but he's a wealth of knowledge in the area.

With all the snow this year it won't be melted out till mid-June at the earliest. I really hope the FS drops the ball and doesn't fix it. I'm sure they will though. It's just to popular of a place for them not too. I'll see in a few months.

Are @Hank and @Mike_taco4x4 coming? I figured they would have chimed in by now.

Dam son you must be drunk...spools are for men
And also my spool has never leaked air like some overpriced piece of shit hahah

Except we're all front locked too.

Either way. I'll be out there between 1-2.

Assuming @theesotericone and @Mike_taco4x4 are sticking to their plans I'll be meeting them at Peggy Sue's around 5. Miah's not quite sure, but either he's gonna meet me on my time line or the Peggy Sue's timeline.

I’ll be coming either really late Friday or early Saturday. Any idea where we will be camping? I’ll probably tow the 4runner out if you’ll be camping somewhere with easy access. If you plan on camping way out in the boonies, lll jusr drive.
