ORV enthusiasts? EDIT: Van Epps Mine trip 6/12-13

I am thinking late June, early July.  With the way the snow pack is this year, late June should be doable no problem.

Is this still a go? I just installed 4.10 gears and lockers front/rear in the Jeep.

I'm still game if someone has an empty seat for me.  It will still be a couple weeks though.  I just saw a TR from the area and there is still a decent amount of snow on that ridgeline.  Hopefully this warm weather coming with knock that down though.

Any idea on a date?

I'm out the next couple of weekends, but he the weekend of July 12 open, so far. Or later in the month but the weekend of the 20th I'm busy.

I think the weekend of the 12th would give the snow a bit of a chance to melt (as well as give me more time to plan.)

Hey justsaw this thread and thought COOL.  I was thinking about taking a run up there one of these days just to check it out.  Could ya use company? I don't know about a weekender but I could be up for a day trip and some scouting depending on the date, can't mess with my salmon fishing.

This is a killer thread. Wish we had a trail beast.

What do you have? Chances are a highly modified offroad rig won't be needed. That just happens to be what I drive.

Here is some pics I've seen from the trail.

Smossy has an Caddy!
Perfect for the trail!

Use a Sawz-all, you can fit 35s under it very easily!

Is there a date for this scouting trip?  I got drawn for Muzzy cow elk in Willipa Hill and need to my weekends.  Not thinking filling my cow tag will be difficult I just haven't been down there for years and with the new Weyco rules need to relearn my way around.
