I still have some bags to get in Big Bear. Also, think I'm travelling every other week in June and July. Plus school so I might be late commit to anything for June and July.

Sigh. I feel like a damn broken record saying I’m a tentative yes. Still waiting to get the rear coil perches fixed though, and life kept getting in the way of other trips. I’d reallllllly like to break that cycle and see everyone. Plus my wife is jonesing for a trail run so I better take advantage of that…

My profile picture is from Odessa in 2002.

I'm interested in both. I can get some good running in around Arrowhead after wheeling.

I'm out. No Values music fest in Pomona with my daughter on the 8th and off to a wedding in Boston on the 15th. Have fun all!

I was watching videos of both and I think Dishpan is going to be more doable for us 2 doors. I have feeling we'd have to be winched up that gatekeeper at Odessa.

The roll over was a total Fluke. Not even an obstacle. Just bad tire placement matched with IFS. I needed a tow up one spot (The Squeeze?), I wasn't locked at the time and on 33's, I just needed a rear locker. Though I feel like the trail is worse now from erosion.

From what I can tell there is a bypass around that Gatekeeper.

I think we're talking about two different gatekeepers. I was referencing the first waterfall you get onto on Odessa. I believe you are talking about the Doran Gatekeeper which is a "hell no!" from me.

If all goes well on Backway to Crown King and I'm not working I say we plan for the 8th.
I'm leaning towards Dishpan only because I don't know if my nerves can take Pucker Pass on Odessa yet. Ya'll know I don't like to be tippy. ?

Well you know me, I'll probably be posting another run in July to somewhere. Maybe we do Odessa in July? Will it be too warm out there? Anyone know?

Maybe you need a lowering kit?

Will it be too warm out there?

I have a soft top and my doors have been known to fall off on occasion ?‍
