Looking forward to wheeling with you again. I added you so let me know if you change any of your plans.
Yes sir you too! Glad your plan is full of all the trails I want to do. My friend in a JKUR might tag along, not sure how likely it is he does these more difficult trails. I'll probably get with him and see now that I know what I'm going to be doing

If I remember correctly didn't you all do that trail last year in the rain and it end up leaving a tough to get off mud/residue on your rigs? I remember it was something like that, maybe a different trail. If there is rain predicted one day, I recommend doing Fins and Hell's on the rain day. Last year, we did those trails in the rain and there was STILL traction galore and no mud or grit.

We did those, if I did them again on a rainy day I'd put the windows in. We got pretty soaked and muddy with no windows.
 
Just realized there is two rides for 4/29 while relaying to someone. Tiny detail but idk.

Man I'm excited. Bummed metal masher isn't on the list tho

Long Canyon is a quick and easy trail, but very scenic. It is also on the way to Shafer.

We may be able to work Metal Masher in somewhere in the week.
