Hey Stan, I wish I could make that run with you. :( I have to work and besides, my Jeep is in the shop getting some work done. :evil:

I was just through Grapevine not too long ago. Grapevine is a nice trail that takes you to the powerline road and back to 95. There is one spot that is washed out pretty bad, but you could make it. I thought that I had some pictures, but I don't. I do have a video of me going through the wash, and because I filmed it, a better shot of my buddy Rob going through the same wash. Showing off of course. :D

Just thought that I would share that with you, and have a great time.

I was just there and it is/was really bad at Grassy Springs. It's cake till there, a 1 at the worst IMO, I never even put it in 4X. Grassy looks to be where the video Joe has. I hiked up the road to the spring and decided it wasn't a wise thing to do all by myself. Looked as if the last thing through there was a dirt bike and that had been awhile before. I went back out and in from the other side to see what it was like back to the Lucky Strike road (from the north) and it was just as easy till you get to the spring at Grassy. If you go early enough, you should see some wild horses. Grassy is about the best source for them right now and they are all over there at the right time of day. It really is a nice run, if we could get the area around Grassy knocked down some, it'd make a great club run.

There's one road that takes off the left about halfway (from the south) I want to check out and maybe run through Grassy once I have a front locker. :wink:
