It was just myself with Ronin2120 today. We only had time for 311 and 520. Everything was fogged in, with visibility shrinking to 30' in some areas of 520.

Mdash is correct with the statement of 520 being more heavily rutted! On the section after the 198 trail intersection, I got to "test" the flexibility ofmy stock fenders several times in tight places between stumps. Ronin mentioned some surprise that I could wedge my JKU through some of the tighter places without carnage, but I managed to gain two new beauty marks and put my rubi rails to work .

I only snapped a couple of pictures:

These were the best pics I took. The 2nd pic shows just how close Wes got to leaving some permanent marks on his Jeep.

Yes, it was a great time! 520 is another skill builder/ confidence trail. No worries Justin, we still need to get back and hit 519. But we oughta hit Fortune Creek before the snow hits. Schedule's going to be tight, as the smoke needs to die down from the fires outside of cle ellum.

I'm thinking in another week?
