MAN!!! It was awesome AT night!!!! holy smokes, I had a blast. I only bypassed the V-notch. I went for it on everything else. Thanks craig for the hookup and we did find the Dutch cleanser mine. We went out towards dove springs and hit the 14 south. There were alot of people over in the dove springs area. one camp had about 30 humans sitting around a bonfire. This trail was pretty dang fun today.

I took pretty much all the hard paths except Pucker Hill and the rock garden next to the Trail Closed sign. Andy followed me through everything!

We need to do another official night run up there. Probably next year.

pucker hill was pretty gnarly on both sides, I took the left side up the hill. That rock garden was probably my most intense one. I had to enter hard right, then swing it hard left using the big boulder to pivot around, once on the left, i climbed the side of the wash, then once I cleared the boulders on the right while riding the wall, I swung it hard right and used those boulders to pivot around and out of that obstacle. I only killed the h3 once in that section and twice overall, like you stated though, a 4:1 t-case would've made things smoother.

Yeah! Even the bypass on pucker hill has gotten tough

There is a step starting to appear on the bypass now about the same location as the step on the right. It caused a skip in my heart beat when my truck shifted over when the rear axle started to climb up it.

My traction control was faulted for most of the trail so the rear locker got used a few times. I think it was a loose connection on one of the front toner rings. After jiggling the wires a bit while gassing up on the way home, I was able to remove the error.

Extremely! I think I will keep the suspension as is.

I love a lil pucker hill each trip it does seem to get a little more difficult though.

Sounds like you had a fun day :thumbs:
