How's the trail (mostly the crossings) the weekend before sierra trek? My group is considering that weekend for a run
Also, my Tacomas low range is shit but I'd like to bring it instead of the 81 this year. It's done turkeyclaw, sun bonnet and blue berry in JV, and would do fine on the Rubicon, how does Fordyce compare to those? Close enough to Tuesday
Definitely want to hit the hard lines, so the 81 it is, hopefully the water lever will be in our favor. The Tacoma is more water tight than the 81They usually drop it for trek, but that could mean that they will run it high flow the week before. Hard to say.
I'm not super familiar with those, but Fordyce is not an easy trail and there are a lot of steep areas, add in all the wieght of gear for camping and I think you might not have much fun with stock low range.
Add in the difficulty of the optional winch hills and I'd think you would have more fun in the 81.
