Sure!
We patrolled some of the trails for the weekend. Some are good for vehicles up to deuces. Some up to 5-tons. Some are jeeps and power wagons only, mainly due to the narrowness of the trails. To be honest, me and Cabell didn't see too much in the way of maintenance to do. We think the best time to do a lot of the cutting back of brush and thickets would be in July. The plan is to wait until then, and schedule a big work weekend, hopefully getting 5 or 6 guys together with brush and tree trimming equipment and get it done. Doing the trimming before then is kinda pointless, when it will just grow back. Plus, Cabell had a point - once we get there and have 20-30 trucks and jeeps climbing over the countryside, we'll clear our own trails.
The trail difficulty, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is a gravel two-lane road, and 10 is winching yourself up a cliff, rates mostly a 3, with some sections of 4-5. Those that are mostly experienced only with light offroading and pavement will find this a mild challenge, which is great! For those who DON'T want a challenge, there are more mild trails as well.
Pics to follow - Cabell took them, and he'll probably post them when he returns home to NC.
