Overall a very easy trail, never any worrying about getting stuck, but I LOVED it just for the scenery!! We are going to have to do these trails again and do so e exploring as it seemed every half click or so there was another trail off the main one...
I feel some exploring coming on!
Greg was definitely right.... A wee bit bumpy. We did air down just to absorb some of the bumps! Kinda fun as we were driving them, like moguls! I hit one a wee bit too fast and bounced out my seat a bit...
All in all - a great day!! Weather was perfect!
Now I have to go out and shovel what looks like 4 inches of snow off the driveway and it is COLD!
Also for those in the market, I field tested the smittybilt high flow compressor that I got through Rick for about $150 and it performed awesome! 15 minutes or so I had my 37's aired back to 36 pounds... Impressive. We let it cool a bit as it does get hot, and aired up JL.... Worth the money!

Oh and by the way Nick, LOVE the video from the GoPro!! I want one bad now!!
That compressor was remarkable! I really could not believe how fast it was... I think would have been skeptical of a portable compressor going for some $150 but after seeing it in action, quite impressive and worth the money!!

It never ceases to amaze me though how everything looks soo tame on the videos.... You can't even see those moguls, but they are definitely there...
The one hill I climbed there.... It's straight up in the windshield looking at it but merely a speed bump in the video...
Good times though!
I still say let's do this trail in February and do some sploring!
We should make that post I guess eh?
