Kent, they have a small pay box at the trail head. There is no prepayment, camping is first come first serve.

I'd like to ride if anyone has an open seat, I don't think the Jeep will make it up there. She'll be under the knife.

I'm likely to go, but I doubt I'll end up camping and I doubt I'll have an open seat (sorry, Will).

This will be a close ride for me. It should only take me 30 minutes to get there

Be sure to follow the break-in procedure for those gears ahead of the actual off-roading trip.  Plan on some boring driving around so you can get the miles on those gears that you need to have before slamming them with power at a 45* angle.

I'm confirming whether my son will be coming based on his high school baseball practice schedule.  If he does not come, I'll have an open seat Will and you're welcome to ride with me.

For those who haven't been before, the trails are dirt/clay with some rocks and have a lot of short steep sections interspersed with flats, like stairsteps.  Some are in deep cuts.  Depending on how long it's been since they were graded, there may be deep ruts as well.  Stock Jeeps can make most of the trails with some effort, and lockers make it eay:  IF it's dry.  Rainfall occurring within a week can make the place very treacherous, since the red dirt turns to slick snot.

Even being an "easy" park I've seen plenty of carnage on dry days too.

One trail, 93b, should be attempted only by built rigs.  Has a couple of ledges and a nasty tree root, plus once you're on it there's no place to turn around.  Long way to winch.

There's room for a few trailers at the trailhead, but best is to leave trailers at the HD parking lot.

The entire park can be easily covered in one day, so camping really means doing the same stuff the next day.  You can run the  main loop trail in reverse which does give a different look.

If anyone is a geocacher, I place a cache at the very top a number of years ago, and there are some others lower down as well.
