sadie creek

what a nightmare, i ran it yesterday with some friends and it was the trail from hell. the tightest trail i have ever seen with some very steep off camber muddy hillclimbs. you really need a winch for this one. even sliders helped alittle, but body damage is unavoidable, unless you have a samauri or bobed yota. what made it worse was the outlet was unpassable, dug out culvert with a washed out creek. we had to run it again just to get out. spent about 7 hours for a trail that is less than 2 miles each way. it rained the whole time and then we got fog fogged in, my friends winch remote cable caught on fire, that was bizarre and then a tree fell over the trail right in front of us. i discourage anyone from running this trail unless it is you don't care how dented and bashed your rig gets. i didn't get any pics but there's a pretty good write up on 4x4 network with pics. it a dnr trail out past joyce on the olypen.

Um, that trail was fun and all. But my club doesn't even consider it worth the drive...

that was 2 years ago, i'm sure it's more tore up and rutted out now. 2 years ago a guy i work with did it in his wrangler with open diffs, no winch.

Sounds like fun.

Ever run the Busywild?

no i don't get over that way, i'd like to though one day. the price of gas isn't helping anything.

I'd never heard of that trail before, but it does look kinda fun. Maybe we should consider doing a trip out there.

there will be major body damage, it's unavoidable.i'm lucky i've still got my windows. the trail is cool, but you have to run it there and back for a round trip of only 3.5 miles roughly. it took us at least 7 hours. we had my xj on 33's, a friends yj on 35's and a fj-40 on 37's. all of us have winches def required gear. sliders, stout bumpers lockers also will save you. i only have front+rear trutracs and i did allright. we all got stuck on the same hills. locals around here don't really use it because it's so tight. people are always breaking down in there.

Yeah, that's my kind of trail now.
