Re: Durran loop / Odessa and Bismark Canyons, SoCal
E. if you want to do lets plan a date and hit it. I can't wait to do it again it was a wild ride the first time at night and can't wait to do it during the day. sure we can get a nice group out there, plus its starting to cool down so that will make it nice.
ya its 12 min past Barstow and lots of possibility for damage.

Re: Durran loop / Odessa and Bismark Canyons, SoCal
This terrain inspired the Disneyland ride, "Big Thunder Railroad". It's a beautiful place, rugged, inspiring and challenging. However, it's a multi-rig run because there is a chance of damage and and a winch pull - not for 2WD FJ's.
It's also MIR207's stomping grounds and he makes it look easy...but it's not.
