Walker Valley Saturday March 3rd
#16
There are some big rocks in random locations on a lot of trails... The lwb with no lift might make things a bit interesting. Combine that with the tight twisties and you'll need Jedi level concentration to make it through the day.
I'm not saying it can't be done, but if your jeep is pretty it'll be a long afternoon.

I am planning to make it and will confirm as we get closer next week.
Also would agree with Alex on the caution for stock JKUs. Some of the trails (humps and bumps for example) are doable but others are pretty tough. I'm in a 2d Rubi on 35s and my rock rails were definitely in use on Ron's run and I still broke a tail light. Another bad spot is the second part of ridge run which has a rock in the middle of deep ruts in mud. I got hung up there and lost a bead in my front right so ended up backing out. There is an easy by pass to this one that I will probably take next time.
If you come out we can tell you which trails to avoid.

Holy smokes this is going to be an awsome run!
Where is a good place for us to meet up at Walker? Is there a designated entrance that we can all meet at? If we can nail that down I'll update the first post so it has a time and a place.
