The trail indeed does have some sections and obstacles that would interest everyone in the AZ Crew, and then some. If you are not used to doing a trail with obstacles, do not go alone. There was a lot of traffic at first, but it thinned out later, particularly after the 'picnic area', so we had a pretty clean run as far as "others." You do need to be aware that it is a popular trail, though, and expect to have fast runners like dirt bikes, quads and side-by-sides coming from either direction.

My compliments to WrenchWench, both for driving and in spotting for me. Not a scratch was had on either vehicle that means anything. And that's saying a lot for the Wench's being able to drive this trail on stock BFG Long Trails in a stock Chevy Blazer, circa early 2000's. I couldn't have done it. I even went ahead and lit up the locker for a few sections. I'm that bad at it, and way out of practice, but this SR is very confidence inspiring.

Next?
