Found the first trail entrance Kevin read about! Unfortunately we were denied. Too narrow to fit through. We may have made the squeeze but the off camber would have put the top of our rigs into the rocks.

No matter how many pictures you take of this, you have to take another when passing...

Maybe next trip just put a tire on the drivers side and ride it on thru

Or, just go in the next entrance? It's called Where Eagles Dare. Did anyone save a track, Nick said, no?

The actual scene shot superimposed on the photo taken...
Nice! To get the angle right, it was shot from further over, the river is there, so maybe a long shot from this area?
I wonder how they got that much lift off the plateau

IIRC, from what I heard: There was a jump ramp back from the edge, a pulley at the edge, the "car" was towed by cable from a sand dragster traveling away from the edge. All of it had to be recovered from the river, was done by helicopter, so had to be light and couldn't contaminate, so no fluids, no motor, etc. It was a light, wheeled sled with mock-up body. Everything was tied together, so it could be recovered in one piece, one of the dummies escaped and was found sometime later down stream?
