Now these last two pic are the end of the road. I knew this would be the deal breaker. Its about half way through the trail. It doesn't look like much but its a lot. I did not want to risk body damage so I did not bonzi it. It was steep and very off camber. The rock sent you into the bank. Messed around another hour trying to get up the hill to the good part of trail but the crappy trxus tires just didn't work. They are coming off when I can afford a set.
By the time we got back off the hill it was almost 4pm. So we will save our revenge run for another day. With a winch we could have made it.
There is a lot more that happened but I just wanted to give you the 50 cent tour.
It would have been even better with more guys.

The first part of the day was spent on an old twp rd, creola.

Probably about 3 ft. The problem is I did not want to do any damage to my soccer mom Jeep....LOL.
I went cleat to the left with one tire on the rock and one in the low rut. My door handle and mirror was rubbing the bank. I didn't want to cave in the side of the Jeep.
Now I saw swamper tracks about half way up the left bank where they straddled the low spot. But you would have to be fully locked with large side lugs to hook the muddy bank.
I found another way up the hill, and it was very hairy also but dooable. Time didn't permit. And if you didn't make the hill(which is about 300ft) it would be a scary piece of work backing down in between the trees! Trust me I attempted it 3 times before I gave up. Last attempt had me sliding with all four wheels locked up!
Lots of fun though!
