Mary Ellen Gulch trip this Saturday the 17th

[jdub]

Some family and friends are running up Mary Ellen Gulch. I remember it being somewhat uneventful as far as obstacles are concerned. Is this true? Will my Dad's Liberty with a 3'' lift and 31's make it fine. I think it wheels great but I can't remember if it is the clearance thing on this trail.

Please let me know what your thoughts are, with the exception of the beginning of the Forest Lake trail, I have no worries about it handling that kind of trail.

Does anyone remember the way to the start? It's in the big parking area right? Then it doubles back into the canyon. I remember that you have to pass the Forest Lake trailhead.

I had no issues when I was up there with 31's a few weeks ago.

So i take it by you saying no obstacles that the road was good and not washed out at all by the run off?

sounds like fun.

 

[jdub]

Come if you want! BTW my brother has to sell his waggy. It was just posted.

 

[mesha]

I saw that wagoneer. I want it. I just might tag along on saturday.

 

[jdub]

Cool, very welcome to come. We will be bringing a liberty w/ 31's so we might be spotting more than regular but in St. George I drug my rear on my scrambler and the liberty did not. We'll see what it can do in the smooth rocks!

We'll meet at the purple turtle at 9am. If you want to catch up later down the road we'll just keep an eye out.

 

[mesha]

If I can come I will be at the purple turtle at 9.

If I could come, there'd be more than one liberty and that's a very special thing.

 

[jdub]

Dude you are welcome to join too, we are a casual family and friends trip, if you can handle it... I know you though. For sure!

We might be up AF canyon that afternoon, dunno if we're driving MEG tho.

 

[JL Rockies]

It'll be easier for me to meet you at the reservior if that's OK.

 

[jdub]

Totally fine. Seems someone forgets gas or is running late. Plan on us just before 10 am

 

[Cascadia]

So how many are going on this trip? Anyone doing any other trails up there?

 

[Kevin B.]

I think we decided we're headed up to Twin Lakes Reservoir instead.

Since I am picking up Meat, there's no problem meeting you at the Purple People Eater
