Good luck on the time frame, Nick! OCG isn't a short(time wise) trail and starting at 11:00 is going to have everyone and their brother ahead of you! There are enough obstacles on this trail and usually enough stock rigs running it that there are usually traffic jams at all the obstacles. Don't expect a fast run...it compares to Spring Creek with a crowd as far as time goes. At any rate, you'll like the trail if you haven't done it before.

If you have the time, swing by the entrance to Carnage and walk up that trail a little. Interesting, to say the least..and maybe take a peek at the top section which is also interesting and a very short detour off the OCG trail. The top is reached by going straight at one of the only intersections on OCG. It goes to a decent sized turnaround which is only 2-3 hundred yards off the regular trail. You can easily see why most 'built' rigs take 7-8 hours to run this .8 mile trail....

Just a heads up....Have a great day! Looking forward to doing another run with you sometime soon...
