Welp, guys. I have to cancel this, unfortunately. I found out yesterday my mom passed away unexpectedly. I'll try to get out there this spring, maybe for @Valhalla's ride above. Sorry to anyone who was planning to join along.
I have the Turn Offroad bumper mounted tire carrier. I read about several small/mid-sized challenges with this set up prior to Turn making some changes to the design. While it was a bit of a challenging install, once you get the heim joints in the right spot and tighten them down it's a great...
Went in yesterday on my 2.7 Wildtrak. Obviously early, but love it so far and works perfect with the RockJock Antirock rear sway bar. Plenty of clearance. There is no drone inside the cabin and it comes alive when you jump on the throttle. It's not an annoying loud raspy sound...it just sounds...
@Valhalla will do. Thanks again! Really looking forward to the trip. Oh - if something breaks and I can't fix it on the trail, who's the best in the area to call or get this thing to so I can get back to Charlotte quick?
@Valhalla thank you, sir. We'll probably look to cut that to 6 somehow. I really, really appreciate your guidance brother. Hope to see you out there to shake your hand and have a day together.
@vrtical sounds like a plan. We're going to go with @Valhalla's route above and maybe use 74>67 to 66 and onto 51. Just not sure how much time that adds.
@Valhalla I just followed this all the way through OnX 3D. Looks like an awesome day! Thank you for putting that together! At the end, 23 actually cuts south off of 22 about halfway through. 23 terminates about in the backyard of where we're staying.
@Valhalla How many hours of total seat time would you estimate? We're staying in a place that's basically direct access to 22...so driving out to 51 is starting to seem less and less appealing the more I learn about the park.
@Valhalla I'm looking at both of your Yellow and Red Dashed/Dotted routes. Fall Fell 2025, and Yuletide run (2023). I also have your 2025 Yule Tide Run route pulled up...seems like a bit of a hike to get out there where the action starts.
I also have your Ladies Spring Fling route.
@Valhalla It looks to me like the way to run 82 is to head up the ledge and then down that gate keeper you were mentioning. That ledge looks a lot harrier going down and I don't mind pulling myself up from there...of course, you can't ever really know until you're sitting there staring at it -...
@Valhalla Yikes. I don't have a winch in the rear. Wonder if I can put my XLock to work and belay it down that section...no option to go around, I assume...
@twendel44 Here's the one from the Fall. The other one I found somewhere a while back, I think on the events page:

For this route, it looks to me like the most challenging section will be about a 1 mile...
