yeah super fun, one thing i forgot to mention is the loose gravel was kind of a pain. seemed like every rig was digging holes whenever they got stuck. Granted its alot like dirt but as far as being sustainable i think possibly using some of the same rubber lattice stuff like they use at walker would help with that.

It was a great day to break in a JK

And the carnage for the day. One XJ lost a driver u-joint. A TJ lost a front shaft/Joint and Sami lost one front and one rear shaft

I had a blast. It was great to see some familiar faces I hadn't seen in a long time.

Many of you who know me know that I have an opinion and I like to share it.... So here it is and it's well after 7:00......
I read crap all of the time on the net about how the new Reiter is nothing but a paved road and it's too easy. "My driveway is more difficult" and crap like that. Well your driveway may be more difficult but the trail I viewed today is a beginner level trail. A beginner level trail is supposed to only be challenging for beginners..... I witnessed several rigs broken, stuck, struggling to get through......
Isn"t this exactly what you would want in a beginner level trail?

Good job guys!

I only hope that when the more difficult trails are built that just as good of a job is done then.

Things will settle and break in. This is still a big learning curve for the DNR plus I have seen mounds of dirt moved on other trails from tires spinning but I do get what you mean by the gravel moving pretty easy.

Like I say there is a learning curve by the DNR on this...

Thanks for sharing nice opinion! Good perspective.

So the trail is now called "The driveway" :redneck::haha: Could you imagine the driveway with 4 to 8 inches(or more) of snow on it! :awesomework:

Thanks to everyone that turned out today. :awesomework:

One issue I had that didn't have anything to do with the trail itself was that the paved road to get to the trail is not truck and trailer friendly... Some spots there is no way that you could pass another truck and trailer coming the opposite way.

Other then that i had a great time :redneck:
