    Default Ellis Jeep Trail, September 19th and 20th



    Once again I am posting this run. There are a few people who have expressed interest in doing this and it should be fun. It starts in Steamboat Springs, goes up into Wyoming, then back down into Colorado.

    We are going to be doing this as a weekend trip, so camping gear is needed. Since there are many muddy bogs, recovery gear is also essential. Amenities are few and far between, so your rig has to be in good shape.

    Although only rated a 6 on the traildamage scale, the rating is due to the bogs and remoteness more than any rock crawling.

    Here is the link to the trail:

    http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=168

    It is also in Charles Wells book, but the directions are clearer on traildamage as are some critical pictures of turns.

    This trail doesn't get done a great deal, is somewhat remote, and promises to be a cool adventure. It would also be a great place to take some of the expedition rigs that some of you are building.

    I'll have to find out why mine is so jacked up and hopefully get it fixed by then, too...

    I made the mistake of leaving it in the jeep last year and let it get rained on numerous times.

    Not to mention I had a 4ft Firestik that loved to hit/scrape on the parking garage ceilings.

    Looks like a fun trail, lots of water crossings and mud boggs.

    So how muddy will it be in late September? I hope to have the 40 ready for a run and this sounds like a fun one. But no winch on the 40. Has anyone run it in September?
