First off, I had a blast this year and I had a blast last year. If we continue to do the same trails every year I will still keep coming back for more.

HOWEVER, since you have asked, segments of the trail were a little rougher than I would have tackled on my own. I did sustain some body damage on my M38 (in addition to the tree falling on me LOL) . I don't really care since that tub is shot anyways but if I had brought a nicer Jeep it would have been a little disheartening.

It is fun to pick your way across some rocks but listening to the "THUNK" of one against the frame or tub isn't quite as exciting. I think if we want to expand this ride at all we may need to throttle back on the boulder climbs. I'm guessing the guys in the M151's won't be back next year, which would be a shame since they are REALLY cool rigs. I'd like to see this get bigger each year but if people are damaging their rides it will have the opposite effect. I hate to see it totally watered down too and I know it's a delicate balance.

Just my $0.02.

Whichever ever route you choose next time I'll be there regardless.

The trails were fine with me. Of course I didn't bring a "restored" Jeep. I can see where some of the folks may have been unhappy with the difficulty level. Ideally the difficult sections would have go-a-rounds, but that's not always possible. I will be back again next year if my schedule permits.

Thank you for the feedback.  I tend to drive my jeep hard and didnt find any problems with the trails.  The feedback is needed as I want to keep it fun for everyone.
