Anyone wanna go 'wheeling on July 4th?

[TurboMinivan]

I'm surprised nobody has started this thread yet, so here goes.

Anyone wanna do some local 'wheeling on the 4th? I'm open to suggestions. A co-worker told me he might want to head up to Forest Lake that morning, though he hasn't firmed up any plans with me yet. If we go, would any of you like to come along? (And even if he bails on me, I'm very willing to head out with someone else, even if we go somewhere else.)

Anyone?

Unfortunately I don't think there's any "beating the crowd" up there on a holiday.

This.

Nevertheless, I'm willing to give it a shot. Maybe we can go in via the usual Tibble Fork entrance, make the Lake run, then head out by going over the mountain and dropping into Midway. I bet we'd see less traffic that way.

We might be at home just in case a fire does start in our neighborhood.

Let's meet early and get a jump on crowds anyway. I suggest meeting at Tibble Fork and doing the run to Midway. Is 7AM too early?

Will you guys be coming back on the trail to the starting point or heading back on the highway ?

Myself and the kids might wander up by the "B" in Bountiful if anyone is up for that. Probably bring a weapon or six and stop at the shooting range on the way back home (I don't dare do any shooting outside of established ranges with our tinderbox conditions)

I could be down. But I'd vote 5 mile pass instead

I might suggest meeting a little bit later, such as 8AM. Sound good?

As I suggested earlier, I would be fine with heading out via Midway rather than Tibble Fork. I figure there will be a lot of traffic coming into the canyon by that time, and there are some narrow stretches which make passing oncoming vehicles... interesting. I have a map of the whole mountain, so we can look it over and discuss this as a group while we're relaxing up at Forest Lake.

Take lots of pictures for those of us who's rigs are still being held hostage in the garage.

I was just asking as I thought I might tag along in the RZR.
Id have to end back up at the trailer.
I just didnt want to get anyone else to change up any plans for just me as Im sure everyone else will be in a street legal rig.

If anyone else is thinking about going somewhere else in the dirt post up...
I dont like heading out without a group in case I end up upside down in a ditch.... I had to walk out to get the truck once last year...lol

I may actually try shooting video (gasp!) as practice for our Rubicon trip.

I'd be happy to loan you my GoPro if you'd like. But you have to edit the footage.

Well I can't speak for everyone, but I would be willing to run to Forest Lake in the morning and then hit Five Mile Pass after lunch.
