You are not supposed to go down the deep drop after the climb as you now get into boundary issues between town own land and private property. Here is a picture of the climb called "Committed".. Hopefully the next group of us that make it out that way can maybe post something so others know where the turn around spot is. It seems that the verbal agreements to allow use of the land is between the Town and various 4x4 organizations like the NEA. People not in clubs would have no way of knowing about this since there are no signs anywhere.


Thanks for the info Matt. We definitely went past that point where Judd went down that rock hill. And I agree there should be a posting. Good heads up!

oh wow, so that wicked thing we were all looking at during lunch isnt even part of the trail? damn!

although I guess if i was the property owner and I owned that, I would so get a totaled 4x4 and just leave it flipped in there

That would be funny.

Too bad though. It's like having a race car and the track next door is owned by an a**hole neighbor. And you can't ever drive there.

I was not aware of the land limits either. I wonder why the land owners don't throw a sign up to let people know. Seems like a little communication would go a long way. The JP magazine run which was highly publicized also went all the way to the end with sll sorts of rollovers and I don't hear anyone talking about it.

No worries Jeff. I was not aware of the boundary either. I went there for the first time in 2010 and this run was my second time there and I didn't remember where the off limit area was. There really should be postings there so it is clear. Especially if the private land owners don't want people there, you would think.
