"We can hardly improve on the
original description written a few years ago by Jack
Bickers: "with driving by World Class Yahoo Jeepers not much
concerned with vehicle durability or personal safety." It is
common to have as many as 10 percent of the vehicles
experience major mechanical failures (gears, axles, driveshafts) on
these trails."

FUN but
tends to break small and large parts at a regular intervalls.
NOT the place to be if you like your paint job. Seat belts
and nerve calming agents recomended. Spotters & recovery
equipment mandatory, EMT training helpful (both human &
vehicle) CW McCall said "you don't have to be crazy to drive
this road but it helps" = INSAINE |
