    I don’t have a winch right now so I have to go with others that do!!

    Which gulch should we target? I vote for anything but Hackett since I’ve done it a few times and haven’t done any others 🤣

    I’d love to say yes but I just can’t afford to brake the StRanger.
    and where The Jeep is a doorless, Winter is almost a shut down.

    Watching the trails off road video he mentions that you can only travel to the county line. And that you have to turn back at that point. In order to comply with the trail closure.
    It sucks. If you look at thier map it only shows green to the county line. Which is at least a mile from the river on both Hackett and long water. Where as Metberry goes all the way to
    The river. Some environmental group got the county to officially make the trail closed after the county line.

    A couple years ago I went down there to run Metberry and Longwater with a couple from Texas. We ran into some Guys with Toyota's at the river on Metberry Gulch. they asked if we ran Longwater which we already had. He mentioned some friends ran it a week earlier and were issued tickets for being on a closed trail. Now I have wandered if it was because they also ignored signs about staying out of the river? Or they had atitude when talking with the Ranger. It's an on going legal BS. That just is wrong. They Close several trail seasonally so that there is not a lot of options during the winter months. I some what understand but from January 1rst to June 10th is a long time to have trails that are perfectly suited to winter time play.
    Sorry for the rant.

    I think depending on how much snow falls between now and then. I would love to play at the gulches. If everyone agrees I'll start the planned trail run and work out the details and get something on the calendar soon.
    Thanks guys! It's great to have this much interest.

    From what I can tell, Metberry goes to the river because the county line is on the other side of the river here. Longwater goes to the county line, which is a little ways before the river. Hackett goes to the river because the county line is at the river.
