In order to more efficiently procrastinate at work, I decided that I could not live one more moment without a survey of Hidden Falls trails and their respective difficulty based off of recent trips, not the maps they printed 5 years ago. Scale is as follows:
"Requires a RamCharger" on the high side :headbang: :steeringwheel:
"Requires a Insert Joke Here" for the tweeners :icon_salut: :violent1:
"Requires a Furd" on the low side :dontknow: :confused2:
:happy1:
watch out for East.... a bit of a challenge.... 35" tires would be a minimum tire size...and a winch
I think you need more than 3 levels...
maybe
"Requires a FrankenDodge"
"Requires a 4WD Dodge with lift and tires" ***
"Requires a Dodge"
"Requires a Dodge in front of the Furd to help it up the hill"
"Requires a Furd"
*** 4WD can be replaced with a 2WD w/ locker and a large pair of ... :laughing7:
I changed it from RamCharger to Dodge, as there are some that don't have RamChargers and are making the rest of us look bad.
Fortunately all is open to interpretation. I personally have never beaten Wet and Wild, which is now Enemy #1. My personal ranking of W&W would be "Requires a Lift Kit", and maybe something other than 31's. :nono:

One of my favorites is Green Mile .... lots of uphill straight line throttle and wheel spin.... trail level is usually passable with a stock to mildly modified Dodge... usually lol :steeringwheel:
I enjoy Baby back also.. it is fun both ways and has a gnarly ledge at the top, which somehow can be surmounted with 31" tires and stock Dodges.... however in reality it really should be tackled with a Dodge w/lift and larger tires to minimize the abuse required to get up the ledge at the top
The map is always helpful.... interestingly the 3 trails I just listed are all level 4... I think EAST is definately not a 4.... It could be put on the Frankendodge required list

One day I will have a RC (that is functional) ...... :tongue3:...... when the Top Hand is done ..... it may be a long time .... I guess I will just have to keep making y'all look bad :laughing7:
You seem to enjoy breaking parts. Its a sick and twisted deal with Dodge Gods if you ask me.
I believe I was the only one that didn't take any by passes last time. Y'all need to stop making excuses
If you had a mic....would you have dropped it? :035:

No other useful comments for the thread at hand eh..... :happy3:
I honestly thought some videos of actual trails might surface from this scholarly discussion.
I have seen videos of "Loose Rock", and it looks like a ton of fun, but I cannot remember ever trying it. Lift not required so its intriguing. :violent1:

We have never tried loose rock as it is rated at a level 5 and the first ledge would probably require frankendodge status ..... Honestly it has always looked fairly impassable to me :steeringwheel:
Next go round lets add it to the list. Time to winch lol.
Winching time!
Winches are defiantly on the list of equipment needed. Noah and I we're lucky we had his winch on east trail
I dont know if I want to attack Loose rock or any of the other level 5 trails that head up to the tower. They are really tough :dontknow:
One winch, a good rope, and some dead weight.
Noah has a winch :great:, I have a good rope :dance:....Eric? :violent1:

We won't know till we try.
I still want to do that long trail that we have never attempted.
Eric, can you tell what the name of that trail is?

I haven't heard any dates yet. I think we are all trying to figure out our schedules....... And possible future tow rigs.... :steeringwheel:
I will hopefully know more about it this weekend, hope to have a new flex plate on the cummins to see where that project is going.
But right now I am aiming for mid April like 17-19 if not that then the first weened in May.
I have to rebuild a top end too.
