I'll be there! It'll be my first Rising Sun Run and I'm looking forward to meeting you guys. Every trip needs a Virgin-Runner, right?

Virgins are cool. I actually smashed my tail light last year on this run. It was totally Ricardo's fault. He thought I knew my rig well and was going over this rock like I knew what I was doing.

Wow, I count 14 rigs on this one.

LOL! That'll probably be me (broken tail light).

Is this the same as the Bill Moore Lake trail in the Wells 4x4 Guide? They're rating that one difficult. Go big or go home, right?

I don't know if it is Well's or not, but it's a bunny trail. There is a harder trail in the vicinity called Red Elephant Hill, which I haven't done yet but would like to. Any stock Toyota 4x4 can do Bill Moore Trail easily. There are only a couple of sections where you even need 4 wheel drive, at least in the summer. It is just beautiful and relatively close to town.

Too early in the season and there and there are huge snowdrifts up there. We did this in April one year and it was a winchfest.

As such we may have trail traffic (it is a popular area) and we get a lot of other folks on channel 4 we might switch to 5.
