Looks like I wont make it but it is a fun easy run, I have seen dune buggies go up it. There is almost two lines for every obsticle easy and little harder.

I don't know if you guys have never done it if you should do the waterfall area but maybe if Aaron goes with you guys. you should be good with your recovery gear as well.

Its a run best done with a smaller group, can take HOURS if you have a bigger group going, just look at the last night run the club did.

That is true of all groups no matter the size. Night runs are especially brutal though because of the lack of visibility.

I'm still unsure whether I will be able to or not. I was supposed to be on a 20 day well coming up this week, but I haven't heard anything about it yet.

It's pretty easy. 31's and open diffs are fine. Like mentioned before there is easy routes. Also I'd do the black gulch side. Its more fun and more scenic. Maybe go up the freeway side, do the waterfall and come back down and do black gulch side. That's what we did last time. It can be done in half a day. The usual meeting place is at chevron by Mesa Marin. Hopefully I can make it!!!
