I'm not saying it's right, but they blocked off my favorite country road home with this bridge construction. And now that it's in limbo for however long this lawsuit takes, means I can't even go my favorite country road home for the foreseeable future. Really I was trying to find out if I can get past the other side of the blockage as well, or if it was still really well blocked. Btw, it was really well blocked. So I headed it on out.

I'm not down with tearing up mud on construction sites. That's not fair for the construction workers, a level ground is very important for what they do. That would also be destruction of property. They drive trucks on their packed Earth as well, so it's not like I'm doing anything they aren't doing. I'm just trying to get from point A to point B and cutting through their site in the process. Also lest we not forget it's a construction site on a public road. So it's not like I'm trespassing. All I'm doing is entering a site they don't want me to enter on a public taxpayer road. Could I get a ticket for it, yeah probably, but is it trespassing, no.

This is the actual road I'm talking about. Like I said I'm trying to get from point A to point B, on a public road. The construction is taking a two-lane skinny dirt road (which is what this section of Melissa road used to be) and turning it into a four-lane paved road for a community on the left side of the photo.

Doing Cleghorn in August, I saw 34’ roll several times on the offshoots down.

The infamous chute I saw 29’, though it scratched every one of our rear fenders in our group, so boulders/obstacles matter.
I absolutely did not feel comfortable with any pitch above about 25’?
I really wish @GMONEY snapped his pitch on the initial hill.. that was puckering, but he made it up!

20* side hill is terrifying, feels like 45*. 40* pitch feels like 80* to the seat of the pants, and photos never do justice

Yeah I had some decent pitch on that bad boy. Little bit of teetering when I had to roll back thise few inches.

Right after I got our JLURD I was in San Francisco with my boys. We climbed Broadway above Taylor St. Not much of a hill to go up, but sure gave us that pucker feel when we turned around at the top to come back down. I think we seen 22 degrees or so on the gauges.
Year later we were in Arches NP area and found a pretty steep climb that the Jeep walked up no problem. We were exploring just outside of the park on Cache Valley Rd in the Dry Mesa area. Don't remember the degrees, but it was amazing how easy we made it up. The other Jeep (rental) we were following bypassed the hill until they seen we went up it, so they went back and did it too.
