Looks like Steve's rig will never see this trail as it stands with these rules...Not sure on width, but 5" too much wheelbase :?

I don't think tight had anything to do with it! The PNW guys that were in on it are old school, and they all drive "real" Jeeps. How's that for me being cynical...

Too much wheelbase here.
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

I'm fine my wheel base is 93"
Width may get me though. I would have to measure but 76 sticks in my head.
You can follow me.... but it's gonna hurt ;)

We could all take turns riding with Curtis and the rest of the short wheelbase group :)

It was mentioned at last nights PNW meeting that in one day, three trees were cut down and one bypass was made on the Little Ratsnake. There was also a fair amount of litter along the trail.

Map of area? I have heard of it, but don't know for sure where it is... Obviously can't take the minivan due to wheelbase now :?
Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...
