Spring Creek Run 10/15/06

[Warrlord]

Here's (http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=36) the trail description. Not recommended for stockers. Very likely that undercarriage damage & body damage will occur.

Meet at 9:00 am Sunday morning at the Starbucks in Downyville just like it says in the trail description.

This run will depend on the weather, if it snows alot up there this week, I'll probably cancel it. I don't want a 6 hour trail run to turn into a 10-12 hour trail run.

Post up you wanna go

would love to go, but with no lockers or lift or anything but stock form, the poor ol bronco probably wouldnt do too well

[rwmorrisonjr]

Same here now that I have reliable fuel delivery, but the stock BII won't make it either, and it needs it new body mounts and headers installed.

Spring Creek is also for those not afraid of heights, Jeff! :)

Sounds great. I would love to go, but I know that my truck and I are not ready for trails like that.

what do you think Larry Im up for it I could use a little trail damage LOL and some expierence too You think with the bigger tires and no lockers i could make it?? I'll bring the rubbing compound you'll have to provide your own elbow grease LOL

Spring Creek is not one I'd recommend for a stock height or slightly lifted Bronco II or any other vehicle for that matter. While most of the trail is easy to moderately rated (i.e. more difficult than Saxon but still managable for a stock height vehicle) the rock garden, which you HAVE to get through [going back is next to impossible as its a one-way trail, and going back will require some coordination since many parts of the trails are one-vehicle width the entire way]... you'll be spending the whole day stacking rocks to get through it, and its only about 100 yards long. This trail run (http://www.4x4trails.net/db_view_trail.php?trailNum=145&PHPSESSID=eff86f5e545511bbb895a53b66bd98ca) indicates you can return the way you came but this is NOT the case, the trail is way too narrow and if you come across another vehicle, there may be extensive backing required and much of it is very narrow shelf roads.

Ultimately it's up to you, just from what I rememebr of the trail the few times I gave it a go that its narrower than the trail books said and none of them seem to mentiont he fact that if you can't make it past the rock garden, its a gigantic pain in the ass to get back. Don't forget - could be snow too.

Sorry man like I said last weekend I will have to ride for cows this weekend(after the fiasco they had last weekend branding I had better be there), so I can't make this one:(. Take lots of pics for me........:popcorn:

[Starkman]

From what I remember of the trail there are ways around all of the real hard spots except the Rockgarden. 84, I think you will make the Rockgarden without too much problem.

Does anyone know what is passed the Rockgarden? And where does it end up. I guess it goes to Saxon.

Of course this is all different if there is snow or water........:popcorn:

[mattadams]

There is nothing really past the rock garden. About a mile after the rock garden, it catches up with saxon....

[Digger]

Larry, here's the joint I was telling you about.
