I've been wanting to run this trail in the pines for a good while... and I figure a good time to do it is when it's HOT down here! So if we can get a date set in August or September that works, let's go for it. I know for sure I can't on Aug 9-10, 16-17 and Sept 6-7, 13-14.
The trail seems to be a 2.5 to 5.0 depending on your line. I hear a locked jeep with 31s can do it so I think I can handle it as well. Apparently the major obstacles all have bypasses. Depending on how soon we get there and how long it takes, I've identified a small loop off the highway just southwest of Payson to run if we have time.
