Haha! I'll get over it, Just curious if I should even give it a "try"

I am sure I would need a longer wheel base, bigger tires ect to really have a good chance lol

Is there away around eagles nest to continue on the trail? Is there any good obstacles past eagles nest? How much further does it go?

Sounds good!

We will be out on the 29th (Sunday). People are meeting at chevron at 11:00 (try to be on time). Or you can just meet us out there. chevron is at, 36w 1400s redwood rd Saratoga Springs location A on the map below!(the one in the link) there will be a group of XJ's there for sure, and some other vehicles. Ax10toy and I are meeting at the parking lot at 5 mile, as we are going out early to test some things. (so don't think we left you if we aren't at the gas station)

this is the Parking lot at 5Mile that we are gathering at before we hit the trail. if your coming from the other side. I would think we will be leaving this parking lot at 11:30 at the latest depending on how long people take to get to/at chevron.

I might have someone in my group that doesn't have a winch. Does that road right before eagles nest go anywhere?

That shouldn't be a problem. There will be others who will turn around and run it back down I am sure, could follow them back and we can/will all meet at the bottom and make sure everyone is accounted for. I am also sure there will be a few people who will run Rattlesnake and ride the top half of Constrictor, so they will need a ride back down to there vehicles. Its no big deal, we can all work it out on the fly. I would also be willing to go back down Eagles-nest to give a ride or guide if needed (not the best leader ;) ) Should be a good easy going run! bringing out some newbies and getting them sucked into the sport, as well as some seasoned. We will all just need to remember that there are some new comers and have patience for them, while also trying to stay organized and keeping things flowing.

I am planning to be out there all day (6 ish, unless something breaks ) but as always you can run down and head out at any time if needed.

nope thats not a legal route and should not be in use. but if he has tow points he can be winched up by someone else.

I've never noticed it to be honest... have no idea of where this is... (not that I need to)

Agree

Anybody that's want to get up or try can be winched over

X2 willing to help pull people up.

be careful out there guys.

Will do! This water should make things a bit interesting. I am excited to try WW a little wet (if it still is)

I have done it in 1 1/2 hrs, and had it take up to 6, depends on the group and how ofen they stop... I am hoping to keep it on the quicker side, but there are going to be new people. If your worried about time you can be in front! all depends on your right foot!
