There is a hell hole run tomorrow that leaves Georgetown at 8AM. About 8 rigs so far. Georgetown is about an hour from Prarie City.

If you're interested you can meet us up there. Hell hole is a fairly easy run down the trail. The harder direction is heading up back out.

I ran the first couple of miles of Fordyce both yesterday and today. Not too too many guys out, but man is it beautiful. The creek is running high and cascades down in one section right through the trail itself. Absolutely gorgeous. When I left there tonight there were only four trailers in the parking lot, so not too too many guys out there now. I'm toying with the idea of going back out there Sunday, maybe hanging a left and head down into the Eagle Lakes area and either flyfish the lakes or Fordyce itself, although I think that is going to be way too high for a flyrod right now.

Signal Peak may be an alternative, though there is still a lot of snow covering the peak and I'm not sure you can make it to the summit. But I bet you could do the first mile or so. Just some ideas.

As long as all goes well tomorrow with the hell hole run I'm down for Prairie City Sunday.

JK Obsessed you get your brake line all sorted out?

I am picking it up this morning. Ended up towing it to the dealer. They wanted to replace the entire line all the way to the master cylinder for $500 and at least a week to get the line. I convinced them to do a repair instead, $200 and they were done in an hour. I think too many "mechanics" are really just parts changers. I am anxious to see what they really did, and will be neurotic about it for a while until i am convinced it will hold.

I am thinking of Prairie City Sunday morning for a few hours.

I tried to run Hell Hole last year with my XJ that had 5.5 lift and had to turn back. There was a washout about half way in that looked like a tank trap. I looked at all the broken parts in the area and turned around. I would like to run it again with my JK (2.5" lift and 35s) someday. I hope the trail is better now.
