hey nasonguy the telegraph mine road is just on the other side of the 60 from were your going with tankerblade. and sorry i can make it to that one i am fixing my frame saturday. Its hard to call the trail by its name in a 4x4 book i had it was a trail that branches off ajax mine that branches off of box canyon that is called highway to hell. But it didnt cover it and than on the gps we were using it called it telegraph mine road and than in the trail book it says that telegraph mine road is really far north. but all in all i was calling it by the name on the gps the trail starts off either on the 79 or the 60 depending on where you want to start both enterances are just past florence junction. But than you fallow that trail down through those little mountians there and it dumps you out on the 177 just behind superior. Great trails the trail itself is not hard but you can make it hard by going through the river bed it fallows and it has great senic views but it is a rather long trail

Yeah, the lady actually enjoyed it, granted she slept all the way up and down on the highway, so she was out for 5 hours of it, lol.
Yeah, I was expecting the Ridgeline not to make it, I mean, that thing was just big, and heavy, and had almost no travel, that one step about half way up would have killed him, if he even made it to that, haha.
The Yukon did really well, I mean, it struggled a lot more than the cherokee on that hill, your pops in his WJ didn't even struggle going up that hill, and the cheater in the Ranger was just dancing all over that stuff, lol. I was surprised at how capable that thing was.
But yeah, no one getting flats was kinda nice...
Where did you and Patrick run of too after that hill???

yeah, we all kinda messed around on that hill and then rumors started about how it didn't go around like some said it did. I personally wanted to try it, but didn't know where the heck I was, so I wanted some one else to come with me, and no one wanted to, haha. So we all did an extremely complicated turn around and came back down, then just messed around on a ton of trails trying to find you guys. Then we went to the rock house and shot our shotguns a bit and generally plinked and had fun (me and the guys in the Ranger both brought some shotties). Then went to hewitt road, then home...
