Carl, you could make it to the trail head. Once there you may want to ride with one of the smaller rigs. This trail has two real tight spots. You could make but you might get some body dings.

For those of us who've never seen the trail but know of the Hell Hole Reservoir, what would be the required setup to participate? I get the narrow track from the prior post.

Whether or not I have the mods done in time for this year, it looks like it would be doable next year.

Based on last year's run I'd recommend minimum 33s and at least one vehicle with a winch. It's a fun run and most of the trail is fairly easy but it's narrow in places and there are two difficult sections. If I can make it, I will have to be a passenger. Maybe get all the way down to the lake this year. 🙂

Here's the pics from last year... http://pics.posse4x4.org/v/20110521KH/

Tom last year I did this run on 33's and no lockers. It was challenging. Kevin and Jeff were great spotters and got me through it. It was fun!

33's would be best. A winch will save you on the tough spots.

We meet at the little Yellow store on Wentworth Spring RD. Right in the middle of town.

Some details on the meet up from what I've seen posted:

Saturday May 5th.
Meet in Georgetown @ 8:00 am and depart at 9:00 am for the trail.
Location is Georgetown market, located one block east of the Main St/Hwy 193 intersection.
Main St. Is Wentworth Springs Rd, once you leave town.

There is a gas station on the corner of 193 and Main St as well.
Note that this run is 60 miles each way to the trail head from gas, not counting running Hell hole.

Gas is exspensive. A day in the Jeep on the trail. Priceless!

Josh, any of your kids coming? I'm toying with bringing my son and possibly a friend.
