Just a thought, there are a few of us that have buggy and buggyish built rigs. Just wondering if there might be interest in a Chinaman / Carnage weekend. We can camp at the base and run either and or both trails.
Ran Carnage for the first time last year and it was a blast.

How are stock vehicles on that? Looks like it could be pretty gnarly...

I've panned around Rollins Pass and there's aquamarine on My. Antero around 12,300. I'd be interested in a trip to pan/rock hound.
I can make some wedges out of old leaf springs if we need to bust up some bedrock!

Chinaman has gotten pretty rough over the years. We took our GX470 (locked, lifted and on 33's) on it last year and had to pull cable one time. Carnage is a buggy / built rig run, not a stock vehicle run! You will take body damage minimum. Google both and you can see some videos..

Kick received! I'll play! Let me put some thought into it. The SO's that don't want testosterone fueled dirt can soak in the warm hot springs at Mount Princeton!

Thanks for chiming in UB! I think we could have a great weekend with lots of trail running..

Maybe I'll just stick with Antero and see you guys at camp ;)

Catching a ride with someone on Carnage would blow your mind! 😁 you could also ride with someone on Chinaman and see what you think, it is a great trail..

I would definitely be interested in coming north and doing Chinaman with you guys. For CC, given the likelihood of body damage+, I would probably ride with someone or walk it. Still, been meaning to get over there for years now, in fact was planning to go after CM this year. Hey Jeremy, is that new buggy a one or two seater? :unsure::D

Two, you’re welcome to it.

Wow! Love all the runs that are matriculating here.. I'd love to attend the Carnage event, wouldn't take any of my rigs on it obviously but I'll walk down and watch you guys! Maybe score a front seat for a few minutes.. that would be way cool. Then get a latte and hit the hot springs with my RC crawler. :)

We could actually make quite a club event if we combined with Chinamans/ Carnage. A whole club all inclusive weekend trip!!!
I'd be down like four flat tires for that!

Provided I get my 80 going, I’m planing on running Holy Cross.
That was the trail I planed on running when my motor shit the bed.
