Cool, thanks much. It is my truck, and it looks like I'll be seeing some of you next Saturday.

Lets do ch 4 so we can hear other wheelers if they are on the trail also. It helped out last time we were out there when a jeep group came up on us.

Alright boys, just thought i would let you know ('cause you'll probably want to quickly change your plans). Tankota (Zach) and I hit up Carveacre for a quick 2 hour session on friday and unfortunately a big cat must have went through there and cleared the whole trail from that right turn where Marc was thinking about flopping (last time we all went) all the way down to the houses. The mud hole is also dried up and someone put alot of rocks in some of the harder ruttier sections. It also upset me to see that the cat wiped out 10 feet+ of the brush and manzanita on either side of the trail(looks like a fire crew went through there to clean up the road and surrounding brush before fire season). It looks really ugly through this section and if you aren't careful where you place your tires, i guarantee someone will put an exposed root through their sidewall (a good mile of trail is covered in torn up vegetation) as i have seen it done more than once in the last few years. Ask Zach about this too . Anyways, to sum it all up the beggining is still technical in a few spots, but the end is Toyota Camry drivable. Just thought i would let ya'll know.

I'm still down to go, that section is on the end of the trail anyway. Most of the fun is before pancake rock anyway.

Matt that sucks but I also agree that they need to be ready for Socal fire season. Oh well. I agree with Coral Canyon being the new location. We could actually do both. If it is as easy as Matt says we could run through there and then go up the road to CC if we wanted. Only back thing with that is airing down then up then down again. Although it sounds like airing down may not be neede for carvace anymore.

I will go anywhere in the area you guys want to go. I do like CC because I know it and there are some off shoot trails that are really tuff but totally bypassable for those that don't want to push it as far.

Far as I am concerned it is Mikes thread so you tell us. And yeah hook up the CB brother!

ive done corral, well as much as i am comfortable with which is up to bronco peak on the east side and back down that same way, and the espinosa? loop which is a little fun but not much...i'd like to hit carveacre and if we are up to it we can go to corral after wards, that would be a full day of wheeling fun!!!

Have you ever done sidewinder or gunslinger at Corral Canyon? Those are both really tight and have some good rock sections.

Only the last little bit of Carveacre was mowed. It will still be the exact way it was a couple weeks ago.....plenty of challenging ruts and Pancake Rock

I never have in the truck, breeze through em all the time on a MC and they do look real fun! Maybe we'll have to hit em up. I need to fab up a front skid this week and if it goes on as well as i hope then i'm down for some fun stuff.
gotta hit IMS this afternoon. Boy i might have to take a day off to get this stuff done!!!

Completely agreed Marc. Only a section of the backside has been torn-up. The front will still be plenty of fun. Trust me.
