Re: FJ cruiser trail team @ The Cliffs, IL. October 20

I have never done trail 10, I guess I have probably done small bits here and there but I will give it a go. Is it easier than trail 1? I have done #1 three times I believe.

Re: FJ cruiser trail team @ The Cliffs, IL. October 20

No, it is more difficult/fun than #1. Trail #1 is the parks emergency access trail to get people out in a hurry so it is groomed accordingly. Trail #10 is an interior trail so you get down in the valleys. But it has been run so much that it is very wide, there are very few trees. It really is a fun trail. I dont think people will have much trouble with it. If you have run trail #1 a few times and feel comfortable there, you will have a blast on #10. besides you will have 5 or so very built rigs in the group that are you get out of jail free card.

Well....if you put it that way...theres going to be a huge queue.

You're right about March, if it wasn't for Phils coffee, the ice would never have melted.

Re: FJ cruiser trail team @ The Cliffs, IL. October 20

Coffee? Someone say coffee? Who wants coffee Saturday morning?

I'm thinking positive thoughts about the mud. I keep repeating "The mud did not break my trans...The mud did not break my trans....." The thing I remember about March were the chunks of ice protruding from the suspension and mud scoop bling plate days after that run.

Simon, are you taking Luke along for the ride again? I think he had more fun than we did last time! Picasa Web Albums - Simon - The Cliffs
