There are trails off the main trail. These are what you see on Defense Mine vids, Cummins Cutoff is the tough one. I tried and got hung up so decided to go around.. The Bathtub is where I took all the short videos. It's quiet impressive in person. the last mile or so to the mine is rough, rocky and steep. With much dragging I was able to make it to the mine in last place[emoji2][emoji106]

Its so funny just how much easier any given obstacle looks in photos / videos. I was looking at the photos and thinking "My H1 can do that!!" -Then I saw home the Jeeps were struggling. Still wouldn't mind seeing this in person one day.

Yah for sure, watching vids or looking at pictures is just not the same. I would rather save my $$ for mods or improvements instead of repairs because I was trying to keep up. I'm sorry I posted vids to Facebook as that's where I could get them to the ORR group. I'm not so savvy at how to share them here. I realize they have to be hosted, can FB be the host??

I think with 35s rancho lift and spring over you can keep up with them all day long and maybe even pass a few in the group. Tough to compare lifted rigs with 2 lockers to a rig with one locker not lifted and 33s on a TJ is like big 35s or small 37s to an H3.

Would love to make it out there one day

those pics really make me wish I lived out in CA, here in the old dominion there's nothing that compares to the scenery of that
