[freewaydan]

It's going to be an all day adventure, bring a jacket.. going to be COLD

[Desert Jewel]

I'm in!! The Desert Jewel needs to finally conquer the Folly's!!

[TJ Clay]

when you say difficult just how hard is the trail? El Mirage area right? How long will it take?

[mrchips]

You could probably go through the whole trail in 1/2 a day depending on how many rigs their are and there are no issues, Snoopy's gulch is not very difficult as long as you are locked on both ends, the Roughwheelers will be out there the end of Jan 08 to continue breaking more trails

It took FreewayDan and I about 5 hours to run the trail, but we bypassed Snoopy's Gulch. Difficulty is relative to your comfort level. I did all but Snoopy's Gulch in my Jeep with 32's, 2" lift and Aussie-locked front without issue. I only locked the rear once and it turned out that it probably wasn't needed.

Hey Kodiak Spirit, I may be able to join you Sunday but I need a few more days to firm things up at work. Would you be interested in running it backwards and starting at Snoopy's Gulch?

[Kodiak Spirit]

yeah, we can run it backwards, that would be cool, Last time we were there we couldn't exit Snoops gultch, we got all the way up there... Desert Jewel was STOCK back then, she's just crazy... and then we had to come right back down! LOL!

I would be honored if you would show us the way, but I got a map, and it should be easy to follow EN Reverso...

I hope you can make it! man that trail was so much fun last time! wedid not take that long to run it, we had one flat... sidewall, put like 20 plugs in, and limped home. Desert Jewel didn't even know that all of her links were toast untill the death wobble on the way home, there wasn't a straight link on her jeep...

of course she did it on purpose, how else do you justify a new lift, slip yoke eliminator, driveshafts, tires.... Hello?

shoot, show up and I will buy you lunch at Del taco!

[mrchips]

Snoop's gulch now has an exit, once you get to the top there is a off camber section across the hill,or a left and you can go down into a wash,that is qiute difficult or take the bypass and go on down the hill.

[dr.dirty]

I might make it LOL its literally my backyard

[paultyler]

Why have I never heard of this place? Do you have pictures, and directions on how to get to the trail head?

[RAT]

I might go, if I get the tubes bent for my fenders on Saturday. Count me as a maybe...

[Kodiak Spirit]

Hey Paultyler, there is a link to the parent club for the trail in the GPS/Maps forum under El Mirage, (MJR-Rocks!), and that's where I got my map and directions. The Rough wheelers have put quite a few directions on their site, if I knew how to past the site link I would, plus I'm at work and have limited use...

TJ Clay, if you want to give it a try, come on out and wheel it with us! nobody is gonna make you do anyhting that you don't want to do, so you can make it as hard or easy as you want. I remeber the trail being pretty open for the most part, and Desert jewel did the trail open with 32" MTR's, She really didnt have any damage untill she ran Snoop's gultch whitch is optional...

Heck, if we have a big turn out we might push it just tryin' to run the trail and finish before it gets dark!

I got rock lights!

From Mike's trail report this looks like a fun run. I might join if my shock shows up.
