Thinking about exploring the Cougar Buttes area because it’s amazing and I’m familiar with it and there is cell coverage……. This is my plan if I have to go solo.
I’m up for something else if someone wants to go wheelin…..

Of course I realize some people work on Fridays….. that’s why it’s hard to find folks to wheel with. My buddy Dave is retired and wheels with me but he’s out of town this Friday.
Weekends make some of the trails too busy to enjoy, which is why I love Friday wheelin. I can wheel on the weekends if needed also, just prefer weekdays ?

Do you think that trail gets busy on the weekends? i know of at least one other person who would join if it were the weekend. It might not be as crowded on any trails since three day weekend for many (including schools)

I don't get VD (very convenient acronym) off, but I am allowed to take it as an unpaid day.

But coincidentally, I have a running race going on Fri/Sat.

I'm free on Saturday if you end up getting people together over the weekend

I’m planning on going Friday, it’s a fun place to flex and climb rocks and explore the desert. Beyond the rock formations are miles and miles of sandy roads that lead off in every direction. I’ll probably plan to be there around 10am and wheel until dark. If there’s a few of us we can try some harder lines…. If I’m solo I’ll stick to stuff I can self spot. Here’s some pics of my last visit, it was so much fun! After hitting the rocks we ran Hercules Finger, a really fun moderate trail with great views

I mean a Tundra can handle most of it as it’s basically wide open with trails that go all over and bypass obstacles. It’ll do great on the long sandy stretches but might not do well in the tight technical sections… but again there are bypasses around most technical sections so I think a Tundra could still have some fun. It’s more fun for Jeeps though ??
Below is a picture of a cool flexy rock section near Cougar Buttes that we’d be exploring…. Old mines and structures, big lizards, cool rocks and views
