Now I'm lovin' that area and those trails! Would make for some long days if it were located around Taylor Reservoir. I don't mind at all about that, just thinking of others. Fuel shouldn't be a problem. I forget, but Tincup would be the closest "town," but I can't remember if it has a station. I'm guessing it does. You are right about the motel situation though.

Might have to do some more reading up on Iron Chest though. Those who have done it, how is it? Yeah, I have Wells book, but I find his descriptions conservative. And I can't go to 4x4 Trails.net because it's down for awhile. Guess I could do the Google thing.

I would suggest August again.

Just my random thoughts for the moment.
