You think there's gonna be too many trucks that day? In one of the vids, a guy mentions he's at the front of a train of 40 trucks! Haha! Trail 16 looks cool.
haha yea man the Tacoma crew is always out there... they do a large meet twice a year and some small meetups in between.

We have been breaking down the trucks into different groups... hardcore, moderate, and light. The hardcore group is what I am always in and we do more of the tight, narrow trails where trees and branches and **** are dragging all down the body panels. We try and keep the groups down to 12 or less, but the less the better.

I can't remember all the trails, but trail 14, 19, and the graveyard trail are my favorites. Nice off-camber sections and since Irma came through, I'm sure the trails have changed a ton with washouts and downed trees.

Awesome. I can't wait to check it out. I'll definitely be there that day as I happen to be passing right by anyway! That's some pretty good timing.

Here's Trail 16 (on that day anyway... like you said, they change over time and with weather):

That trail looks to be just hard enough that it will really test my truck, but not "impossible". Plus it looks like there may be small parallel "bypass areas" to the sides that are flat, so light trucks can skip an obstacle if they want. Will figure it out when I get there!

I somewhat remember that trail. Pretty much every hole or tough spot will have a bypass so there is almost always a way around something. I am trying to find some pics or videos of the other good spots...

This spot looks pretty awesome. Not really a trail... more of a "bowl" I guess. I'd love to try to find this too:

Yup, that's it. I believe there is another cool spot similar to that off of trail 20 but be warned, they are off limits to vehicles. We've been in them before, but you risk receiving a ticket from the rangers out there. Of course, they are the best spots out there lol

Here are the only decent pics of trail 14 and these were last year in February and October. My truck is the white one. It's probably my favorite trail next to trail 19
