OK this is the first trail we went on "Devil's Back Bone" 5 rated all the way. Ty went through two u joints in his front drive-shaft, I got up on the loose stuff and wrapped this huge vine around my driver side loosening my brake line and lost my brakes. Very technical trail until the end and it was just major loose stuff you can see me back up and try it again just burying up. TY was breaking his stuff while I was burying up time I got out and repaired TY had broken again up on the loose stuff. He had to winch, John had to winch the buggy but hammered his XJ out of there. Heath's buggy ruled that thing simply rocks pretty much point and go, the more he drives it the more it goes !

Second trail, we had them falling like fleas before we got here. TY's rental was out, Andrew's buggy had heating issues, John had heating issues they were headed back to swim Heath and I took a couple of trails on the way back.

Great fun trail !

Thanks Man I had so much fun, it was great ! "Old Red" did good, I was happy I got out of that last trail pulling cable or not it was freaking crazy!

But Heath's buggy was the real superstar it just kept going and going. Well done Heath you should be proud of that thing ! And don't change a thing it's doing a great job.

great vids Billy, cant wait to see the footage from expedition. that trail reminded me of the creekin side of kayaking only difference is we were going up it instead of down. go up one hard spot, reposition for the next hard spot, roll on side, roll back upwright, and keep going.

thanks for the comps on the buggy. the more I wheel it the more I like it:thumbsup:


I would say at this point expedition was the most teck trail I have been on. I havent wheeled as much as most of you so that may not count for a lot.

There are some 2's and 3's, but a lot more 5's. They are working hard on cutting more trails though. Looks like there will be plenty of stuff for all classes of rigs.

Expedition, all I can say is WOW :thumbsup: that trail was amazing I turned in there and seriously wondered if I would make it out. I'm with Heath I think it was the most truly technical trail I've ever managed to go on. Old Red did me proud had to pull some cable when I fell off in something just to deep for my little tires to pull me out of but we worked our way through the most of it. The Park owner looked at me on one spot making sure I had a seatbelt on :happy:

I felt like I had been wheeling all day from one trail :undecided:

Heaths buggy had no issues made it look easy, even when he flopped over Ty just shoved it back over on all 4 :laugh: (really guys you don't wanna make TY mad) :kiss:

Video is great but still just doesn't show how tough it was. Camera guy was running for the hills but he did get one shot of Heath laying over.

I don't think I took any of the video this go round working to hard just driving !

I'm ready to go back for a weekend and get on all the other trails we saw but didn't have time to hit.

But I'm telling you these video's just don't do justice. TY and I talked about it for 30-40 minutes after we both got home. :grin: I been wanting to go back to Clayton now I can just go here. 1.5 hours from the house and an easy drive.

there is gonna be plenty of camping and parking, its going to take a bit for elec. I think they said shooting for first september or so. I belive they are starting on restrooms and shower houses this week.


Billy that Jeep rocks it impresses me everytime i see you wheel it.

Very nice people up there, we had a lot of fun on saturday but it was very hot. aside from issues with the sami running it was a very fun day. the exit on devils backbone turned me back. and expedition was unrecognizable as we left from what it looked like when we entered. I had to winch once on it but made it out without breakage. lots of rash on the suspension and axles. will get some pictures up soon.
