I think I have video of hairpin trying to get a vid put together now. The editing software I have is crap. Carb hill was pretty easy my buddy can't work a camera and didn't hit the record button when I was climbing it so don't have that on film. Will get it next time. I need a better camera and someone to shoot it. Cause my friend Mat sucks bad at filming things some of what he recorded made me sick trying to watch it. He was shaking so bad.

Also the rattle snake no longer exists. Water from the last hard rains washed the whole trail away. I didn't really want to have to run it anyway and put my windsheild though the dirt.

This video is not the greatest. First ones ok. The second one is all grainy for some reason. And the Pic I posted above was the Hairpin. And I have to say that climb made me nervous. Wish I would have filmed it. From the bottom it didn't look bad till you get up there and see it's almost straight up and turns to the left.

Your buddies should have a blast down there.

I think it is on private land. First you go up a trail called Holiday and then up Jacob's Ladder. Its short but fun and at the limits of what a stock Jeep can do.

Frankie and I went there for their grand opening. Nice trails. We didn't do anything really hard but they say they have some pretty hard core trails there. I posted a few videos in here and on youtube. Has some footage of the main trail and a few others we went on. Search fo DTOR. Ice got the same username there too.

I'm going to try and plan a trip there around the end of June. It should be an interesting group. A few friends of mine ride quads and I'm trying to get a friend from work to take his tacoma there too. I'll post a new thread when I get more details.
