    Default Red Elephant/ Mill Creek/Bill Moore Lake



    Tried to do this run last year and a jeep flipped in our group and never got to run the whole thing.

    Saturday, July 22nd - meet in Downieville at 9:30, do Red Elephant to Mill Creek then end the day at Bill Moore lake.

    I have a stock Rubicon and had no problem with Red Elephant. It is steep and has some tough rocks but its doable.

    Hope someone will join me.

    I'm likely a yes - though I have a big "but..." the jeep is in the garage with wiring issues. I _hope_ to make a good push today to put it together but it is as yet unknown when it'll be on the trail.

    Maybe we should just do Bill Moore up to Mill Creek. Read that Red Elephant is not in good shape.

    Jeep made good progress this weekend. Unless a gotcha rears a head on a drive this week I'm an almost certain yes - so long as it's on Saturday (busy most Sundays).

    Your truck is quite satisfied IT didn't have to endure a pounding on a difficult trail.

    Red Elephant had many difficult sections. Other trails had several three-point turns to navigate tree trunks. It's midnight - I just came home - I'm beat.
