It was a lot of fun! Very close and pretty much still in town in case something breaks. Steve, its kinda up in the air if its a legal area or not. I've never really had a problem. Some entrances say no unauthorized vehicles, some say no open fires, some don't say anything. The gate is always open. Nothing is paved and there is a parking lot at the top for people to park and hike.
O isut definitely a fun area and john (jdub) showed me a possible buggy line. I started it but decided I didn't want to hurt the yotas body.
