Here is the trip report on the Moose Mtn trail cut from Paul Regish:
I arrived at the meet spot 15 minutes late, as usual, keeping my 5 year streak of only being on time to an event when I camp out the night before. Wayne and the buggy crew were chomping at the bit to get in there so I gave them advance directions over the phone. The directions along the back roads and class 6 were perfect, when my group arrived we caught up to Wayne, Rick Moore, Nelson and Nate. Wayne and Rick decided to brave the class 6 for 100 yards with their trailers until it got really rough then they found a small clearing to back into. Out of 11 of us guys, a good turn out, none of us had ever been there, so we were flying blind a little traveling along the class 6 to find our clearing. After about 1.5 miles we came to what we thought was a large clearing, we saw some red marks so we figured this has to be it. So I sent the guys in and they all started running the skidder trails in various directions. Just to make sure we were in the right spot, I sent another few Unyx guys down the road to find the adjacent class 6 and the intersection. A few minutes went by, nothing. So what seemed to be a half an hour went by and they finally come back. Hey Paul, we found your large clearing, it's another ½ mile down the road. DOH. Luckily, the property had red markers and even where the group entered, we wer still on the right parcel.
So, in that first area, we shall call that the southern tip of the land, Wayne, Nate, and Nelson tooled around in Waynes TJ buggy and Nates Unimog. They found no real rocks, slight grade away from the road on the whole place, relatively sparce trees, no big cutting at all, mostly just wet ground and travelable skidder trails. Bill 35's locked, and Rick, 38's locked did find a nice washout that required winching and a few big downed trees to winch over. They had a pretty fun time in the southern section, again no rock fields for the big dogs, just wet sparse rocks and underbrush.
So off to the clearing we went. Wayne, Nate, Nelson and Rick continued to wheel throughout the skidder trails every where, sorta depressed because there wasn’t andy big arsed rock fields, and on top of that the skidder trails weren't that overgrown so they just wheeled around for a good hour or two searching for rocks. In the other group with me, the two xtrerras started off in one direction, frump, right into the mud, buried to the hilt. The rest of us came up from behind a few minutes after them and winched them out. We pulled the xterras aside thinking it was just too slick for open diffs and 31's, pulled them off to park them. Bill Mead then waltzed right through the mud, then another TJ, Then an LJ and a spankin new FJ. So after the xterras saw how it was done, they made it right through the second time. We dropped off the main trail to the left and cut tiny little loop, again, perfect for 33's to 35's to have fun. Stockers will have to get totally dragged through it, and buggys will think it's a paved road. Bill and I then started to clear a skidder trail straight downhill to the north, not too steep but lots of shmuck and a few rock obstacles. After going a ¼ mile I realized the smaller righs weren’t going to get through so we went back up to one of the main trails and continued clearing in an Eastward direction. Lots of uneven ground, thick thick mud. As we keeped marching in this direction, low and behold through the trees I hear a chain saw coming in our direction. So I marched through the woods and it was the buggy boys that just happened to reach the outer perimeter and were coming our direction! Golden spike in the middle of no-where as it were. So if you follow the red danger do not cross tape I laid straight from the clearing diagonal eastward, taking a left at both forks, but no hard left, you have a straight shot to the back of the property. Once you get near the back, both Bill, Rick and I noticed to the left, north side, it's all sparse big boulders, a LOT to be uncovered. This area could be like the area just above owl snot at Waynes World, slight grade, but a lot of rocks, and the trees are pretty sparse so you could have a dozen rigs doing different lines, and best of all its DRY down there.
It's funny, on the south side, there is a rocky stream bed, real rocky with boulders and what-not, Nelson, Nate, and Wayne were DROOLING at it. Except we all came to the conclusion, we'd love to blaze through and make it a trail, but we knew what Scott would say, stream beds are a big no-no, can't wheel stream beds, politically incorrect! Scotts name was mentioned a few times and how he would be whacking us in the knuckles, along with another certain fun-cop who was mentioned!
In the end I think everyone had fun. There really isn't much right now at all for anyone with 36's and over. If you like tooling around on a lot of trails all day this place is for you. If you like to throttle all day on a 100 yard boulder field and ledges, there's nothing. The slope of the land probably only drops 30-50 feet over a half a mile. Right now you could get a bunch of stockers in there and easily beat the snot out of them all day. Lots of winching. 33's -35's will have a lot of fun. As it gets run, I think this place is a LOT like Cemetary hill, there's not a lot of grade, but as they trails get used, they're going to get more, and more, and more difficult. I want to go again, I had fun. Everyone there today wants to go again too.
TRAILER PARKING: The way we came in, we had 3 trailers I believe and that is all we had room for. Coming from route xx there is just no way you can have a group of trailers travel that class 6. If Wayne and Rick didn't want to try it, no one is going to try it. I would recommend any group with any trailers to head up route x and come in from the North, that is the only way. I personally did not travel taht way at all, but a few in the group went home that, way, I'd like to hear a report from them on the road if I could, specifically can we easily wheel trailers right up to the clearing? The abutter of the class 6 right where it begins did come out and talked to the guys. I wasn't there. Realizing that we weren't a bunch of yahoo kids he was pretty polite, but he did tell the guys NOT to go on the left side of the road at all as that is his land.
I apologize in advance to whomever I left out, it was not intentional, I’m just an idiot. Please email me to put your name on the list if you were there. Sorry if I butchered what club you were in too!
