I have been unable to make it to the meeting/dinners could my Frist meet be at this? what would rate the trail?

x2 on trail rating and is this open to non members assuming I can get the wife to sign off on the fuel cost.

 

[redstrider81]

seems like every time i turn around someone has a new rating system. I am used to 1-5.
1 dirt but a car could make it.
2 4x4 good idea and some clearance
3 4x4 required good clearance required
4 light rock crawling
5 extrem crawling wintch required

not sure where x2 falls on this scale. lol

Most of the trail is a 4 in your 1-5 scale. There is a small section that is 4-5. Serious rock crawling. Winch probably not needed.

this trail is a 3 on the mitchel scale except one point where it is a 4.

On my personal scale I would rate it mostly a 2 with one point a 3 maybe a 3.5

For various reasons we have decided to postpone this run untill next month at the earliest.
