New Cougar Buttes Trail

[mkjeepers]

PS... Mike, do you think there will be a need for a small trailer to haul stuff in or out?

[COLOR="Blue"]No, I think just a pair of gloves and straps will be all we'll need.

Bummed I can't make it this weekend, but definitely excited to run this in the future.

[COLOR="Blue"]I'm sure we'll do another run out there soon. The route back across the rocks to the Bullfrog trailhead will be new and fun also. [/COLOR]

Hi Mike, if I get Jeep back together in time and manage to get up early I'll bring a rock net will make winching the big rock a piece of cake

[COLOR="Blue"]Rock nets will work Art, and don't forget to invite Fred along also.[/COLOR]

I am pretty sure Freddy will not want to miss all the fun.
Mike can you give us some directions to the general area where the trail is at? We will probably get there about one hour late

[COLOR="Blue"]The general area is: take Rabbit Springs Rd east from Camp Rock Rd(dirt) to the end. Just before you get to the last house on the left there is a well used ungraded road that vears to the right.

From there go about a mile and you'll see a comoflage looking small cabin/ranch turn left and go up the sand wash to the left near to the end. You'll see a steep rocky hillclimb up one of the hills on the right.

The trail is to the far right (south) of the hill climb. I'll send you a Google map.

Mike, thanks for the map and directions, now I better get to wrenching and put lil Yeller back together

[curtis]

SO what did you break Art?

[flatout]

I will be there.

[aw12345]

Since, running Big Johnson it had been making some funny noises and it has been bugging me. I thought something was wrong with the transfercase, but outside a munched speedo gear and an almost clogged oilpump screen the thing is fine. So just got done stuffin it back in the Jeep. Took me 1 1/2 hour not bad at all.
Tomorrow I will take both diff covers off for a peek in there and check the brakes and I am ready to conquer more rocks

Mr Freddy, 9 AM at your House?

[mkjeepers]

I am ready to conquer more rocks

[COLOR="Blue"]There will be plenty of that goig on.

Hopefully my TJ will start, it's been sitting for months now.[/COLOR]

Wow, this sounds like a lot of work. Why don't you guy's just come with us this weekend and we'll show you some trails you probably haven't been on before. We might even find a trail with enough rocks to keep Art happy. :smile:
