Lets use channel 12 for the CBs.
Ride is tomorrow and the conditions look great with the recent rain. Unless there are other route leaders that want to take the reins the area I plan to take us through is high and dry but usually dusty. With all the rain there should be zero dust (good for those in the rear) as well as keep the sugar sand more manageable for those with more road biased tires.
Who is still in for this?
Maybe each of us that are going could copy the running list and add our names.

Nicolas I honestly have no idea how you would find us once we head out. Tentatively we would be heading almost directly into the woods and popping out on 40 then probably going north of 40 around in a loop back to end on 40. The place is so vast that it would be like a needle in a hay stack situation. My numbers are 386 852 0751 and 386 214-4224 fwiw you can try it but cell signal is pretty much zero out there. See the rest of yall in a couple of hours!! Theres some fellas coming from Tacomaworld too.

The terrain really doesn't look that challenging, with the exception of the sunken 3rd gen. I really wish I could have made it out but my 6 year old daughter got a stomach flu.
We need more pics!

Sorry you missed it. We had 4 kids along her age. There were some challenges but they were mostly sand climbs. Most of the challenging stuff I had no time or concentration for pictures.
I did this same ride over a year ago with an offroad club and it took us twice as long to run it. This group did a great job of leaving following space and carrying speed through the soft such that there were only two stucks, one a jeep and the other through his own adventurism beyond the path.
Hope his runners is all good other than drying some carpet.
Thanks to all who came out and if there is interest in doing it again I have more challenging routes but they are wetter and would require sever weeks lack of rain.
LETS SEE SOME MORE PICS!!

How did you guys get the black Runner out of that hole? He looks really sunk in.

Yea. We had a tacoma prerunner with us that only got stuck once.
The carpet is drying good. And the windshield pic looks that just because of the glare.
Great weekend!!

There were a some pretty rough spots. My suspension definitely got a nice workout. Don't forget I was riding solo so the picture I had were taken while I was driving by myself so they are in the more easier areas. There were some deep spots and water crossings that I wasn't able to get photos of cause both hands were on the wheel.
