Default Swamp Lake Trail 8-27-11

I will be running Swamp this weekend.
8-27. If your interested let me know. I would ask that you at least have 35" tires. This would be a day run. I ran this trail last year in under 8 hours. If you feel up to it and if your rig is ready then your welcome to join me.

The plan would be to meet up in Prather and leave at 6:30am. Head up to the trail and run it, stoping at the lakes and meadow. It will be all day.

This is a difficult trail, with some tougher spots. Trail damage is possible. Pack a lunch and then some just in case.
Here are some pics from last year.

The beginning:


The tougher spots:

That would be cool for Fred to scout the trail.

Well looks like it may just be just 2 rigs on this run.
