MSV/Coney Flats

[Chris]

I think I speak for everyone in saying we had a good day today; Barb & myself, Pete & LaDawn, Brian & Sylma, Jay & his son, Charles, and Rob. First time meeting most of you which I always enjoy. No drama, a couple of yanks were needed but that's expected & some fun water crossings. Great trails and good people.

Also good to meet Mike (WJJEEPER) for a few minutes before we left the trailhead where he stayed with his family.

Pics to follow, I hope because I forgot my camera and my batteries died in the spare I keep in the truck so I only got a few.

Yes, it was a great (and long) day -- 6.5 hours on the trail by my count. Here's a pic airing down at the trailhead.

I'm a notoriously bad photographer.

At the big water crossing, I was getting what would have been a great video of Chris taking the lead but 5 seconds after his tires touched the water the SD card on my camera was full.

This was the toughest trail I've done so far. I aired down to 20 PSI and the traction on my normally-pathetic Goodyear SR-A all-terrains was surprisingly good even in the wet conditions (lots of water crossing). Ride was much softer too. However, it felt like I lost an inch or more in ground clearance; I banged the underside and rock-rails pretty good a few times.

Hopefully someone got better pictures than mine and some video too.

Pete gave me batteries for my truck camera and by the time I got them in I think you were the only one I got pics of during the water crossing. I'll see tomorrow.

You did real well especially with those street tires and being towards the back, we had pretty wet conditions more often than not.

I saw your pictures CFR and I am looking forward to more...I definitely want to see the water crossings. I am interested in this trail, looks fun.

Great shots.. another great trail I missed!

I really wanted to go on this trail. Now that I see all the water, I really am sad to have not gone.

Can someone add these two trails to the Trails Information section? That way any information from this thread is saved for future runs and easily accessible.

Thanks
Aaron

As I expected, not much from the camera - Barb got 1 and I did too.

This trail looks like one I would really enjoy. It is on the list.

DEEZL...don't you think we would commit to a whole lot of trails if we could???
