Posted this on the GONE forum. Thought I would post it over here as well.

Don't get me wrong. Hell's Revenge and 7 Mile Rim are awesome trails. Hells is definitely one of those can't-miss trails. The only reason I'm thinking about checking something else out is because I've run both Hells and 7-Mile twice now.

Would anyone else be up for breaking away from the pack and running down to Area BFE to check out Green Day? Here's a trail description;

There are apparently 2 different tracks on this trail that parallel each other and sometimes cross over. An easier track (me) and a difficult track with what looks like some pretty gnarly obstacles. The trail is only 1.28 miles long, and appears to be somewhat of a big loop. Trail damage describes it as "the perfect trail for groups with vehicles of different capabilities."

Anybody up for it?

Oh I'll be running different trails for sure. Pritchett canyon is a must and if Andy comes out we probably won't be allowed on the nissan trails so.

You're joking, right? Do you not remember the tard that didn't listen to Kev on Fins (yeah, I know) and blew up his diff? Do you remember that he rented a Jeep for the rest of the week and rode with us?

Ok I probably should have explained my situation. First off I will never run atrail alone even though I've done it in the past. So if you decide to run the trail you have mentioned find atleast two others to join ya. I really want to run with the nissan crowd however it is up to the sponsors to decide weather jeeps, toyotas and others can join the group. My father who is riding with me and probably driving most of the time wants to run an extreame trail. So in the three days I will be there I must fit Pritchett in as a run. I love poison spider/gold bar so that is a must. Hopefully outsiders are welcome and then I will for sure be able to run with everyone.

I don't know this Andy guy but I'm guessing he doesn't drive a Nissan? Nissan Tech Svcs brought a freakin' Land Rover with them in '07 and ran it through Hells with us. Nobody seemed to mind.

So if you decide to run the trail you have mentioned find atleast two others to join ya.

Yeah, I wouldn't venture down to Area BFE alone. That's why I posted it here. If nobody wants to go I'll just wind up on Hells again.

Dude my post was meant to say, ask us to talk about it, and we'll probably give Andy an exception :)

I might be interested, depending on the day.

Here's the thing.

Wednesday and Thursday I will probably want to be using my mornings to do some photography - and perhaps some in the evenings as well. But during the day I would be available when the light is harsher. Just depends on when we leave/how long a trail will take, etc.

I may arrive on Saturday and do some photography, camp, and then join up with everyone on Sunday. I don't know yet.

I was shooting for Tuesday. It's in the thread title, but the title is too long and gets cut off when you're looking at the forum listing. Sorry.

I asked Kevin awhile ago and he said he needed to ask the sponsors or something like that. I guess it's all good so Andy will be wheeling with us and I'll be able to run the trails with everyone.
