Elvis & Martinez Trail Run (August)
#23
Hey guys! I might be up for this run... finally got the ARB working and I'm stoked about giving it a real test but I'll have the GF in town that weekend and Duncan's been trying to lay low lately. We'll see how things pan out though!Grady

Hey everyone, I am in the area and interested in going. I am just a noob and my new MINT 86 4runner only has a 4" lift, 4:88 gears, and lockers, so it's probably not as nice as most of your trucks. May I tag along?

Just remember, there are a few sections on Martinez where it's possible to get body damage. If that matters to you.

I would like to go but I really do not want to damage the body. It is mint and only has to door dings. I usually like the mud, snow, and sand. But I am not really into rock climbing. What is the terrain like out there? I would still like to go but not sure if I can go all the way back in where climbing over rocks is required.

Ryan, here are a couple threads to give you an idea what these trails are like:

Also, I predict this weekend will be the return of the mighty ELVOTA.

Keep in mind as well that most of those reports/photos are of the hardest lines at both trails too.
Any word if Tim will be around town that weekend to join? I know he is on a motorcycle tour somewhere in CA.
