Are you trying to make fun of me driving Miss Daisy, lol. No worries, I will be slower this time around. I will have installed my dual T-case and drive train lift by then. I'll be able to idle through the entire trail, lol.

Although stopping too film is defiantly worth it. It is a great way to relive the experience and share with others the adventure you have had. So I will continue to film as much as I can, as long as others allow me too do so.

you want to go even SLOWER this time!? dude...we didn't even get on the trail until after 10 and we made camp at like 5-6pm, then were done and back home in the early afternoon ... what should happen is run the trail almost all the way through to one of those big open areas closer to silver lake for camp, then turn around and finish out doing the trail in the reverse direction, ha! i guess it doesn't really work out this way when you've got lots of rigs, lol

off topic, but sometime in the future i'd like to be able to do THIS and run Slickrock, Strawberry, and Deer Valley in one weekend.

do we know of any other trails or sweet fire roads in the vicinity of Pardoe's Trail?

I think if we met up early enough and started early...around 8 or so, it really might be possible to camp near silver lake, and do the trail in reverse the next day. That would be awesome. As long as it doesnt seem too rushed.

Thats my plan also but I am not sure if that is the way it will work out. Ji you can always follow me up to Bear Reservoir when I leave I know that much of getting up there just not sure where the trail is.

Well I guess that says it. Filming it is.

Wow, your wife must be really cool, to want to drive that far with these gas prices. I know you would not be disappointed on the trail.

I hear ya Brian. I would also like to make plans to hit up multiple trails in the area in one multi day thing. I still need armor for Painted rock, although UKmyers told me its much easier now.

As for going slower, I am talking about using the gears in the rock garden for fun. Just to see how slow it could be done with out stalling. Like you I have wanted to run the trail in revers as well.

I also think it is possible. We could keep it in mind and see where we end up and then discuss it that night, I agree stockwell, as long as we could do it with out feeling rushed we could have another great day.
