That's all I got of the trail cleanup...once we started working, there wasn't much opportunity for photgraphs.

Where is this trail? Number or name is fine, I have the "books" and it looks good for our almost stocker when we are up there next week.
Thanks, Mike

Heh, actually, I think that's still 38...but I honestly had no clue where we were...Johnny had us pretty much circumnavigate the entire San Bernadino Mountain Range getting to the trail...I snapped that shot when Johnny said we had about 5 miles left.....15 miles or so later we were at the trailhead. =)

EDIT: Oh, and that dusty trail is just the road down to deep creek...I don't know what the road number is...I was just following the Jeep in front of me. =)

Trail cleanup was on the 2N04, and yes, it's fine for a stocker. There's probably a few more you'd be fine on too. :)

The dusty trail leading to Deep Creek is NOT good for a stocker...Deep Creek is fairly mild most of the way with a few "extra credit" obstacles along the trail if you choose to hit them, but there's at least one section (rock waterfall) that would be just about impossible to get through at stock ride height. Even the bypass requires a good amount of clearance (at least BB and 31's with rails for the bypass up the waterfall I'd say from memory, if you want to be safe instead of sorry). It's do-able without lockers, but I wouldn't go solo just in case. Have fun!
