Gustav Dow Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Howdy All Lets get some Rover bashing on the docket. This is a very awesome trail with lots of little rivers to play around in and lakes nearby. Vehicle Requirements: Electrically and mechanically sorted (HAH) solid axle vehicle with 33in tires, sliders, and traction aides. There is a high likelihood of body damage... Not that I would care of such things! We can get IFS vehicles to the main camp if people would like to join and ride along. I believe its possible to get most vehicles though this trail in stock form but it would require lots of winching and high chances for major failures (CV's, UCA/LCA's, etc). We can make a second group for Corral hollow or Sour grass if we have other who would like to join who dont meet the above requirements. Plan is to meet at the Utica side slick rock trail camp Friday June 10th. Trail run will be Saturday morning 9:00 am from camp to alpine lake restaurant where we will grab lunch assuming all goes well. We will then decide on either heading back down the trail or taking the road back to camp. I will be heading up Thursday night to secure camp sites and troll around so feel free to join early If you would like!!!

DHappel Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I'm gonna try! Hope to make up for my lack of wheeling over the winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Wood Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I am planning on heading over for this trip after I finish the pre-Rubicon trail run at the beginning of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcb Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Would love to ride along with someone since L405 not gonna do Slick Rock. Can she make it to the camp site? Always up for some 2A... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustav Dow Posted May 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hey man! So there is a lot that you can park at which is about 200 yards from the camp site. Im more than happy to help ferry supplies down from your rig to camp. I'm Sure we will have seats available so come on through!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Mattson Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 I'm made good use of my club membership so far this year and missed every event so my summers resolution is to stop that. So I'm planning to make this one I probably won't make it up till Friday evening but depending on Julia's work schedule I may have an open seat. Once she finds out for certain I'll post if it's open or not. Its an extremely uncomfortable ride but we can get some pith helmets and have the uncomfortable safari look. lutz and Mr.BlueSky 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.BlueSky Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Due to a very busy June Wheeling Season, Gustav has kindly agreed to run Slick Rock as the June MORG. Calendar has been updated accordingly and thread moved to NCLR Public Events Sub-Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 I tentatively plan to come. Will need a ride along the trail, but hope to make it to the campsite. CRYA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, it’s all down hill to the campsite. There’s only one tricky part that’s no worse than what you did on Signal Peak.

So...Yoder Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 I've been looking around the Dardanelles for some wheeling for almost a year now, didn't realize slick rock was so close. Unfortunately I've had another camp trip planned since March for this weekend, if it falls through I might join, I'll be halfway there anyways Andrew Wood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Mattson Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 So I should have an open seat for the trail. I'll have my kid and dog with me so if that makes a difference to anyone looking for a seat. Jethro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCLR074 Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 I have been lurking on this one as I need some time off property. What is the count so far? Figuring out how much wine to bring. Jethro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinw.rrc Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Will there be a group 2 for Corral hollow or Sour grass? I've been wanting to do those. Can't do Slick Rock in my LR4. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertDingli Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Jason (13 yo) and I will head up from South Bay as soon as he is out of school on Friday. We should be able to clear most of the back seat in the Discovery for anyone wanting to ride along on Saturday from the campsite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t been to either of these trails, but they seem to be doable in LR# I plan to come if I put my rig back together: redoing most of the rear suspension and accomplished much less over the weekend than planned (life intervened).

Gustav Dow Posted June 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hey all yes we can setup a second group for Coral Hollow or Sourgrass. Does anyone here have experience on either of thoae trails who would like to lead? slick rock trail count looks to be 11 people so far. Are we getting a Georgia Bulldogs fan on this run??? Go dawgs Tyler Mattson and Mr.BlueSky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elherbinator Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 If I make it up in time I can lead either trail. I’ve done both multiple times and probably makes more sense then trying the gauntlet in my RRC that doesn’t even have a locking transfer case and sitting on some old generic tires. It is not exactly a trustworthy rig at this point. I am planning on coming up Saturday morning, so maybe I can drop off my stuff at camp and then we can head out from there. Neither trail takes too long so we wouldn’t have to get out real early or anything. Corral Hollow would probably make more sense as it’s a bit longer and a loop. Sourgrass is an out and back and pretty short. It also can be annoying if we need to pass a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
