Default Sept 12th Browns Camp trip

Two co-workers with full size rigs want to go to Browns Camp with me on Friday the 12th. It's a first for them, and I've only been a couple of times. So I wanted to open it up to anyone else that wants to go. Most likely will meet mid-morning on highway 6, then hit the trails for the day. Any advice on trails for newbies would be great.

I've been there quite a bit.
When I had my built 05' Unlimited LJ. and before that. Here's my site of the LJ with pics in folders, look in below TSF.

If you guys want someone to show you around the area I could probably do that Friday the 12th. I'm still stock so I would bypass some of it for sure. I already have my cb set up installed.
Regarding trails, It would depend on the rigs and how extreme you want to do... I'm assuming like me preferrably no damage. Being stock with this loong wb I can high center on just about anything.. But there are trails there a stock Unlimited can do, and a few more with some good spotter's..

Sorry, I haven't been logged in for awhile. The other rigs are a K-5 Blazer on 35 or 37's, and the other is a lifted and locked Toyota Landcruiser. But both are newbies and don't want to damage their vehicles. The Blazer is going to Moab a week later, so he doesn't want to damage it. And the Toyota was just completed and he just wants to go test it out to make sure everything is working properly. I've already run some "more difficult" trails there with my Jeep and haven't had any problems. I'm sure if the full-size guys want to do anything radical, I'll be bypassing it as well as any of us here.
And we were just planning on going for the afternoon, and coming home after a few hours.
