3/24/08 Cleghorn, 2N17X, Pilot Rock

Got to hit some nice trails today with dhawk, and my photographer/co-pilot (thx Gabriel). Cleghorn and Pilot Rock were a breeze compared to the 2N17X. This is a true Black Diamond trail that will test your rig and abilities. We had some fun on the many challenging obstacles of this trail. I think we got through about half of the 2N17X and then made a group decision to turn around. We were at a point way off camber and the trail was getting very narrow (<=Jeep size) so serious body damage was imminent. I even saw blue paint from a previous rig on the side of the mountain. After that we continued on Pilot Rock trail to end a great day on the trails. Curious to know if any one has completed the 2N17X in a FJ, please share your experience.

Looks better. Thanks. I've wanted to try 2N17 for the longest time. It looks like they closed off that one tough climb that's in my book.

Thanks for the pics even though they don't do the trail justice. backing out of the trail was a serious pucker factor

Re: 3/24/08 Cleghorn, 2N17X, Pilot Rock

I was up at Cleghorn on Sunday morning (Easter Sunday, almost all alone) and got in a little situation.

I headed up a little side trail that turned out to be a motorcycle trail and got up to a place that I could go no further.

In addition, I didn't have enough room to turn around.

I had to back down a really scary steep piece of the trail before I could turn the rig around (I hadn't had to do this before).

Good thing my Wife was with me (Claudia) who is a good spotter.

Then, just to add a little more excitement, in another very steep part farther down the trail, my passenger rear wheel came way up off the ground and made everyone pucker up real good.

Good fun...
