I'm hoping to have some trail experience by then, and if so, I'm down to give it a shot

Is everyone who's interested in this, available the next day, the 9th? I finally found my notes from helping someone with their shop meet & greets, and it looks like I'm "working" on the 8th, so would love to move this to the 9th.

The 9th actually works better for me too. You should post it!

I could do the 9th also!
Posted here: http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/...7&day=2017-7-9 and link to discussion thread in Planned Trail Runs is in the calendar item. Yay! Looking forward to seeing some of you again, and meeting new people!
Heather, I'm using your run for some education for the folks new to the group...
How a trail run progresses is how it is flowing for this run. Someone who is interested in running a trail starts a thread in "Planning". It gets discussed and when there is enough interest for X trail on Y day then someone (typically the person starting the process) creates a new thread in "Planned" and puts it up onto the "Calendar". The often lengthy "Planning" thread dies down. People RSVP a Yes/No/Maybe onto the "Calendar" so that the run organizer knows who to expect at the trailhead (everyone's here - let's go!). Last minute details get listed in the "Planned" thread which is often clean and easy to read.

Thank you Jim that helps!
Heather you had posted this is a good beginners trail. I have watched several videos and am somewhat intimidated. I know most videos are edited for the most exciting parts! Is this trail truly a 7 out of 10?

It is much less than a 7.

I ran it in a stock wrangler sport jk open open n 2012. It requires a bit more clearance than that. No issues with the same rig lifted 2" on numerous runs since.

I appreciate your insight James, Thanks! I am really looking forward to going, it looks like a lot of fun!
Jamie, you won't have a problem with the obstacles. I took my jeep out there before putting the skids on it. I had a little scraping, but no actual issues.
I really like it back there.
Is there a bypass aroung the lake? I have a friend that might join us, but he'll be riding his dirt bike, and may not want to swim. He was talking about riding ahead and taking pics of everyone.
Jamie (June 26th, 2017)
The motorcycle bypass would be feet on the handle bars!

And then he hits that-one-rock in the middle and flops it and the day changes from a wet feet only day to draining an engine for a re-start.
