Oh by the way, leaving for Portland won't be back till Sunday morning. White mountain is basically 2 wheel drive trail, but nice evening right now, shame to waste them, Kevin.

White Mountain may be 2WD if you take all the bypasses, but if you're going to go the "normal way" (West to East/uphill) up Suicide, Cal 3 Wheel or Frustration in 2WD, please shoot video

Bear in mind that the "usual" route to get there (3N14) is closed at 3N12 north of Fawnskin to 3N16 at Big Pine Flats.

Yeah, the one stretch where we were glassing the deer, was rocky, and loose dirt, went into 4 for about 100 feet then back to 2. Scott and I,in my stock Grand Cherokee, with my daughter and Son-in-law in the Cruiser, who had never driven a 4x4, went up White Mountain. The main trail is not that hard. Kevin. Now try Max's trail by his house, that was fun.
